Re: [Nmh-workers] smart header processing

2012-01-09 21:25:14
Let me posit the idea of incorporating lua into the message processing
stream.  Both incoming and outgoing.  As a header rewrite and message
routing tool, it kicks the living daylights out of sieve.

Back when I first thought of it I had thought of using Tcl to do
it.  But you know what?  At the end of the day I don't really care
which scripting/embedded language we use; just that there is one
as an option because every time I read the mh-format(5) man page I
want to scream.  I say have at it and see what you come up with.

(As an aside: I just took a look at the Lua syntax.  I guess the creators
of it were fans of Pascal?).
