Configure mail responses headers to use Gcc anddddd not Fcc header in Emacs

Configure mail responses headers to use Gcc anddddd not Fcc header in Emacs

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

I'm using notmuch together with a local dovecot imap server, and with
Gnus in Emacs.

When sending mails from notmuch, I'd like to be able to have a
nnimap+localdovecot:Sentmail added for instance, instead of a Fcc
header.

Is this possible ?

I can see one way which would be to hack a brutal replacement of Fcc by
Gcc in notmuch-maildir-fcc.el, but maybe there's something smarter ;)

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Responding to myself.

The problem was that I had removed the Fcc addition made by notmuch hook
as it was redundant when sending mails with Gnus, which uses a Gcc.

But I cannot seem to use Gnu's Gcc in mail sent from withing notmuch,
actually.

So I've made it so that Gnus won't add a Gcc, and so that Fcc is set
correctly for my local dovecot.

So, in the end, I have customized these variables :

 '(gnus-outgoing-message-group 
       (lambda nil 
               (goto-char (point-max)) 
               (cond 
                  ((message-field-value "Fcc") 
                   "nnimap+localdovecot:Sentmail") 
               (t nil))))
 '(message-directory "~/Maildir/")
 '(notmuch-fcc-dirs ".Sentmail")

So in notmuch, Fcc makes it saving the file in my ~/Maildir/.Sentmail/cur
which suits dovecot, and if I'm sending from Gnus, the Gcc is set
according to my nnimap folder definitions.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
