Corrected quoting, I did not write that last line.
I don't think it does what you intend anyway, unless you want to prevent the Subject tagging, if the Subject begins with a Re: marker. Also, I've never used the \/ match buffer in a negated condition, but my gut feeling is that it will make the original intent fail.
Oh, I thought the backslash was escaping the / .. I was just going by
an example I had - even though now that I think about it, that really
makes no sense. \o/
In any case, yes, I want to skip Matching replies, because otherwise
you won't match how the system prepends [Dovecot] now.
For example. Subject: This is a test is replied to and becomes: Subject: Re: This is a test
I would think those of us who prefer to have the prefix would want: Subject: Re: [Dovecot] This is a test and not Subject: [Dovecot] Re: This is a test
Now, If I replied to the second one, it would become
Subject: Re: [Dovecot] Re: This is a test
and that would really hose things up. Of course, were I to do that,
YOUR threading might get all hosed up because all of a Sudden there's
a subject change. Yes, I know there's a header for threading, but I'm
not sure what MUA's respect it.
So I think 2 recipes are required -
- Marks 'original' not prefixed Subjects - prefix is '[Dovecot]'
- Marks replied not prefixed Subjects - prefix is 'Re: [Dovecot]'
So like: :0 fw
- ^List-Id: .*Dovecot Mailing List
- ! ^Subject: .*\[Dovecot\]
- ! ^Subject: Re:.*
- ^Subject: \/.*
:0 fw
- ^List-Id: .*Dovecot Mailing List
- ! ^Subject: .*\[Dovecot\]
- ^Subject: Re:.*
I assume $MATCH would be the last conditional.
I think overall - whether we add or remove the prefix via local
filter, someone is going to have issues with it :)
