Thanks, Good hint, Iain!

The '|' is an interesting option, but I did not get it working for direct file operations. Instead, I am working on a different approach:

Usually, the real Spam and real Ham emails can be identified already in the Inbox view and labeled:

startup.rb:

class Redwood::InboxMode
  def label_spamassassin_spam
   t = cursor_thread or return
   t.apply_label :spam
   multi_toggle_new [t]
   regen_text
   Index.save_thread t
   flush_index
  end
end


class Redwood::InboxMode
  def label_spamassassin_ham
   t = cursor_thread or return
   t.apply_label :ham
   regen_text
   Index.save_thread t
   flush_index
  end
end


class Redwood::SearchResultsMode
  def label_spamassassin_spam
   t = cursor_thread or return
   t.apply_label :spam
   multi_toggle_new [t]
   regen_text
   Index.save_thread t
   flush_index
  end
end


class Redwood::SearchResultsMode
  def label_spamassassin_ham
   t = cursor_thread or return
   t.apply_label :ham
   regen_text
   Index.save_thread t
   flush_index
  end
end

keybindings.rb:

modes["inbox-mode"].keymap.add :label_spamassassin_spam, "Label as SpamAssassin Spam", 's'
modes["inbox-mode"].keymap.add :label_spamassassin_ham, "Label as SpamAssassin Ham", 'h'
modes["search-results-mode"].keymap.add :label_spamassassin_spam, "Label as SpamAssassin Spam", 's'
modes["search-results-mode"].keymap.add :label_spamassassin_ham, "Label as SpamAssassin Ham", 'h'

I want to move the mails in a second step (yet to be resolved).

Any hints on possible external programs/ scripts for moving mails with a particular label to a special /Maildir folder (e.g. ~/Maildir/SpamAssassin/Spam)?

Best regards,

Robert

I understand what you are aiming for. This is an interesting question.
:-)

Sup has hooks, and I believe these could be used to extend Sup with this
functionality. For a full list of hooks, launch sup with "--list-hooks".
(See <https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/wiki/Hooks>.)

Are you looking to operate on threads (groups of messages) or individual
emails? For example, existing hook "mark-as-spam" operates on an entire
thread, not an individual message - which I suspect is probably not what
you're looking for

Instead, to operate on individual messages (which I think is what
SpamAssassin would prefer), I think creating a custom variant inspired
by the existing "pipe_message" method may succeed. This allows you to
pipe an entire email message to any arbitrary *nix command (e.g., could
be used to write the message contents to a new file in either a special
"ham" or "spam" directory, which in turn could be fed into sa-learn).

(For a demonstration of pipe_message, open a message in Sup, then type
"|" and enter, then: "wc -l" and enter. This calls "wc -l" with the
message contents, and returns a line count.)

So I think it would be possible to accomplish what you are looking for
with two hooks:

- "startup" hook: Extend Redwood::ThreadViewMode with new methods, e.g.,
send_to_sa_ham and send_to_sa_spam. For inspiration, see
Redwood::ThreadViewMode#pipe_message (in file
lib/sup/modes/thread_view_mode.rb).

- "keybindings" hook: To bind keys to the new functions.

For inspiration from another user, see:
<https://christop.club/2014/01/19/sup/#hooks> - this shows an example of
extending Sup (Redwood) classes with new methods, and binding keys to
these new methods.

I know this is only a very rough outline of a possible solution - but
does this make sense, and sound like a path you may be interested in?

Kind regards,
Iain
