Subject: Re: [PATCH] emacs: functions to import sender or recipient into BBDB
Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:51:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ip64gdpg.fsf@chladni.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87ip92zc6m.fsf@wonderlust.lan>
From a show buffer, notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from imports the sender into
bbdb. notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to imports all recipients. Newly imported
concacts are reported in the minibuffer / Messages buffer.
Both functions use the BBDB parser to recognize email address formats.
---
Following discussion upthread, I put everything in notmuch-address. I
renamed the functions to put notmuch before bbdb. And I replaced the
horrid comma-splitting from my first version with the functions BBDB
provides for parsing email headers.
It looks as though Reply-To is not exposed in the :headers plist. I
assume the Resent-* headers are not, either. Therefore none of these
are imported (nil entries in notmuch-bbdb/header-by-name). They would be
easy to add if the plist is expanded.
Thanks, and sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this patch.
