I have an alphabetized (by subject heading) thread index page, and would
like to create bookmarks derived from the first letter of the subject
heading of a given message. The idea would be to have a navbar at top of
index with letters of alphabet, and user would select given letter and
"jump" down to first message which begins with that letter.
I think it could be fairly straightforward to write a routine that would
store the first letter of a subject heading into a variable, compare that
variable with the next message, and on first instance of each letter (A,
B, C etc.) write the letter to the thread index page as a linked
bookmark. My question is, being new to PERL, where would I try writing
such a routine? Which .pl file deals with alphabetizing the thread index
page? Or can it be done with existing envariables?
Any ideas?
Thanks . . .
