Re: [Nmh-workers] [patch] filtering support for inc

2017-07-21 06:09:10
Hi Ken,

How about giving inc(1) a [-sequence foo]... that added the
incorporated emails to the sequences.  The user's script could then
cook up a unique sequence name, run inc, then pick(1) and mark(1)
their way through that sequence doing what they liked.

I like it; keeps the toolbox approach, simple to code, and flexible.
Were you thinking that the use of -sequence would negate also putting
those messages on the unseen sequence?  Any other thoughts?

I hadn't considered it.  I don't use unseen-sequence, but I think it
would make sense that an explicit `-sequence foo' stopped the implicit
unseen-sequence update.

As for inc being silent, «inc -forma ''» almost achieves that apart from
the annoying, noisy, non-Unix, "Incorporating new mail into
inbox...\n\n".
