Subject: Re: [sup-talk] How to treat List-Id headers (Was: best method for before-add-message.rb)

Hello,

Excerpts from Tero Tilus's message of Sun Feb 13 10:51:02 +0100 2011:

Ah, well, the problem I have is something like this

List-Id: "very long descriptive text on what the list is about"
    <list.lists.something.com>

Because the actual List-Id is so long, it's sometimes wrapped into the next
line per convention (i.e. when the descriptive text is already very long and
the line needs to be wrapped because the actual List-Id would exceed the
character limit per line, I think it's around 80 characters). Thus, my regexes
don't match in all cases. I want to match the list by the part between the <>,
not the descriptive text, which is a bit problematic because of the
line-wrapping. However, if I could get the full List-Id line from the parsed
headers hashtable, this would eliminate my parsing problems.

Well, making this publicly accessible to the before-add-message hook would
simplify a lot of the stuff I do with my email in order to place the right
labels. So maybe, this is a feature request to the sup developers, but maybe I
also got everything wrong. ;)

Cheers,

Moritz
