It looks like there is only one place that outbound mail can be stored
-- sent_source in config.yaml specifies it globally.

I'd like to be able to save outgoing email into the mailstore for the
matching account; can anyone suggest some way to do this? Hacking code
is an option, although I'd appreciate some pointers ...

This is an interesting idea.  I think the best way to do it might be
to implement a sent_source hook that can override the global default.
It would be wise to either a) not use mbox or b) have dedicated mboxes
for this purpose...until I finally get around to finishing the lock
manager to make shared access safe.

The other gotcha with a hook to pick the source for message storage is
that not all sources are capable of storing mail presently (mbox,
maildir and imap are the only supported types, which admittedly should
cover most people).

I think this would be quite simple to add.

I've also toyed around with the idea of 'patterned' sources so that
you could specify a source as maildir:///u/bwalton/Maildir/inbox-%Y%m
and have new sources picked up automatically as they're created
(possibly by procmail doing autofiling, or something).

'best' or 'simplest'?

There already exists logic for determining which account a given
outgoing message belongs to, because that's how the :sendmail: target
is being used.

If you are arguing that having a different sent_source per (outgoing)
message is useful, then perhaps a hook makes sense; but the simpler
case probably doesn't need it.

Certainly the sent_source mbox shouldn't be subject to something
inconvenient like delivery of new mail while we're updating it :-) but
I'm not sure that mbox people would be unhappy having sent mail in a
separate file ... ?

Both?

I'm not arguing anything, and perhaps using sent_source as the
(hypothetical) hook name was a bad choice...

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to write to a different
source depending on which address is used in the From.  You'd either
need to make a separate config entry in each account that gets setup
(similar to the sendmail that you note) or provide the ability for the
user to select the sent box in some other way.

In the 'simpler' case where the decision is made based on account
used, you've got a chunk of static code making the choice and
defaulting as it would now.  The hook would simply take the place of
the static decision maker.  The decision has to be made per message
regardless of how it's implemented, so doing it in a hook is a better
option, imo.  The Hook route would be slightly slower, since there are
extra activation records on the stack for the function calls, but it
should be negligible.

The other advantage to a Hook is that the decision could be made based
on more than simply the From:.  Maybe other users would prefer to
store mail based on who it was sent To...or a combo of From/To?

I'm interested in William's thoughts on this.  It's not a feature I'd
use, but I do think it's a good feature to have.

I hope this explains my thinking more clearly.

Almost; what I (could have) said was that I wanted to write to a
different source depending on which account is in use for the current
message; I wasn't fixating on the From address itself, although with a
better understanding of the code you might declare that they are
effectively the same anyway :-)

Yes; and in either case I think we can't just override the current
global sent_source, because this is being used to read messages from,
in order to include them in the threads.

Mmm, I think the hook route would expose you to a lot of change,
because whenever a 'new' source (i.e. one not known about as load
time) is declared in the hook, you'll have to remember it so it can be
included in the index, and be available next time sup starts too.

Whereas requiring sent_sources to be declared at load time only means
they can be added as sources just like the current singular one is.

I've been browsing the source this evening, I don't have a very good
grasp of Ruby idiom but I do find it to be very readable in general
:-) However, I've come to a halt in SentManager.write_sent_message,
because I haven't figured out how @source.store_message relates to my
store URI, and therefore the relevant store_message function. I mean,
if :sent_store: is configured, how does @source get created from
@source_uri?

If we have multiple sent_sources, that contradicts the singleton
SentManager, unless @source becomes a hash keyed off from_email ... at
which point I'm pushing my Ruby skills too far for the evening.

Any comments or specific code pointers welcomed! I'd be happy to
attempt a patch for this, but I may need a little help ...

Ok.  I _think_ that difference would come out in the wash, unless I'm
overlooking a subtlety.  Thanks for clarifying your needs/wants
though.

As long as sup is configured with all sources that might be returned
from the hook, including the default source, it should be ok.  It'll
still poll all sources and thread messages appropriately.

My take on this is that the hook would be constrained to return only
existing sources.  On the other hand, aside from an initial import of
any existing mail in a new folder, I'm not sure that adding new
sources on the fly would be that bad.

> Whereas requiring sent_sources to be declared at load time only means

I was picturing the hook return value to be a uri suitable for passing
to Index.source_for.  If that method call failed, the default would be
used.  There are of course other (maybe better) ways to do this, but
that's what I was thinking last night.  Using this technique, you're
limited to existing sources and you also have an easy way to back out
of a 'hook gone wild.'

It is a beautiful, expressive language! :)

At startup, SentManager is initialized with a URI.  This is either the
value of :sent_source: from config.yaml or the default (special) value
sup://sent.  A little later on, after the Index has been initialized,
it is asked for the source that corresponds to the URI value passed to
SentManager.  If this source is found in the Index, it is assigned to
the @source value.  Otherwise, the SentManager.default_source method
is triggered.

So, when one of the message modes calls write_sent_message, it has
either a specific source or the default ready to go.  Sources usable
by SentManager are constrained such that they must respond to
store_message.  This excludes ssh+mbox URI's from being a valid sent
mail source.

I don't think it precludes it from being a singleton, but it would
require some heavy reworking of the initialization logic for it.

I just popped into sent.rb and was all set to knock out a patch to add
the hook and I discovered that my memory of this wasn't what I
thought.  SentManager doesn't ever _see_ the message.  It simply
facilitates calling the store_message method of whatever source is
configured and that source object in turn provides an object that acts
like an IO object to the edit-message-mode call site.  This
complicates either approach discussed here since the determination of
which source to use can't be constrained to SentManager...presently,
it would end up in edit-message-mode, which wouldn't be the right spot
for the logic, I don't think.

More thinking required, I believe.

Hello,

Just curious if this ever got implemented... I use Sup at work to check both
work and personal email, and when responding to personal email I'd like the
response to be saved in a different source.

Thanks!

If I didn't get it wrong nobody wanted that much of control.  For the
presented usecases per account (and global default) sent source would
be enough.

I'd prolly use configurable sent source (filing sent to imap server
where I pull incoming from) if sup had one.  Anybody else need this,
or per account sent config?

I'd take a stab at it if a Sup guru would give me a few pointers as to where

SentManager.write_sent_message is the method you want to play with.  For
hook stuff, take a look at how any of the current hooks are defined and
called (git grep 'hook' or something).  Ben Walton's posts on this
thread are also very useful.

The simplest approach might be to just have the hook return a source
that's used (if supplied) instead of the default source, and leave it up
to the hook writer to interact with SourceManager or whatever to acquire
the Source object they want.

Does it really need to be a hook?  I haven't seen a single use case
justifying hook over simply having per-account sent_source in
config.yaml.

No, I don't care which it is. But you will be responsible for helping
the first person who wants to automatically choose their sent source
based on the body of the message. :)

So be it it, if you (in the other scenario) are willing to help those
who simply want per-account sent_source and are afraid of Ruby.  :)

So... I take it I would still look at SentManager.write_sent_message
for this? Are all the configuration options from config.yaml gobbled
up into an object somewhere when Sup is started?

I guess the first question I should really ask is if Tero is going to
take a stab at this or if I should... :)

Coming wicked late to the party, and it's a bit of a kludge, but -- I solve 
this problem with a before-edit hook which BCCs my account, and all the 
information necessary to choose the appropriate account in a multi-account 
setup should be present in that hook.  Sup's automatic duplicate suppression 
means they never actually show up in my inbox view, but they are nevertheless 
silently and appropriately added to my remote mailstore.

Make your choise and take your stab.  I'll be a happy user of
sent_source selection, be it hook or conf based.

I've already got a long enough backlog of features I want to hack
with.

Would someone be nice enough to tell me when/where the source gets set
in SentManager? I've grepped the heck out of the code and can't find
it anywhere. Also, where's the code that checks the front of the
sent_source uri for 'maildir' in order to know to create a new Maildir
source object?

Look at bin/sup lines 157-161.

That would be only in bin/sup-add.

If you look inside sources.yaml, you see that source classes are
stored there (together with instance attributes) and thats how
SourceManager#load_sources (actually YAML::load_file inside it) knows
what source classes to instantiate.
