I get a ton of mails from cron jobs on various machines like logcheck,
which are archived right away (in before-add-message.rb).
Problem is that these mails still show up in search results. This is a
real problem, since e.g. almost every search for a mail address will
match to some logcheck report mail from the mail server.
Now I could just add '-label:cronjob' to any search, but that tedious.
I'd like to filter out those mails by default, but still being able to
include them in a search, if I want to.
That sounds a lot like the semantics of the 'Spam' reserved label, but
without Spam in it ;-)
I guess there is some easy solution I'm missing!?
Regards,
Gregor Hoffleit

You can use the custom-search hook to accomplish this. For complicated
reasons, it doesn't show up in `sup -l` right now, but here's the docs:
Executes before a string search is applied to the index,
returning a new search string.
Variables:
subs: The string being searched.
I would try something like
subs =~ /label:cronjob/ ? subs : subs + " -label:cronjob"
Which will automatically add that search term unless the query already
contains it.

Ah, that's fine!
One last thing, though: Provided the setup above, how can I search
through all threads, regardless of the label cronjob?
Is there any easy way?
- "stupid" will ignore cronjobs
- "stupid label:cronjob" will only return cronjobs
- "label:cronjob || -label:cronjob stupid" doesn't seem to work
Regards,
Gregor
