Subject: [Meta] Mailing list helper functions
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 10:13:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wnyqknqn.fsf@localhost> (raw)
Recent changes in https://orgmode.org/worg/org-mailing-list.html
encouraged several unusual practices when posting to org-mode mailing
list:
1. Using Woof headers to label Bugs/Help requests/Patches [1]
2. Avoiding full quoting of earlier thread when it gets too long (which
is default in Emacs and many other mail clients) [2]
I wrote two small helpers for message-send-hook reminding to follow the
suggestions. Hope they can be useful for other users following the
maillist from inside Emacs.
(defun yant/notmuch-mua-woof-check-maybe ()
"Remind to use Woof headers when sending email to org-mode maillist."
(let ((case-fold-search t))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(when (re-search-forward "^\\(To:\\|CC:\\).+emacs-orgmode@gnu\\.org" nil t)
(goto-char (point-min))
(unless (re-search-forward "^X-Woof-\\(Bug\\|Help\\|Change\\|Release\\|Patch\\):" nil t)
(unless (yes-or-no-p "No Woof-(Bug|Help|Patch): t/nil headers found in message being sent to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. Send anyway? ")
(error "Forgot Woof headers")))))))
(add-hook 'message-send-hook #'yant/notmuch-mua-woof-check-maybe)
(defun yant/notmuch-mua-too-long-cite-reminder ()
"Remind to cut unnecessary thread citation when replying to orgmode."
(let ((case-fold-search t))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(when (re-search-forward "^\\(To:\\|CC:\\).+emacs-orgmode@gnu\\.org" nil t)
(message-goto-body)
(when (> (- (point-max) (point)) 5000) ; Message too long.
(unless (yes-or-no-p "Message is too long. May need to cutoff excess citation lines. Send anyway? ")
(error "Forgot to cutoff excess citation")))))))
(add-hook 'message-send-hook #'yant/notmuch-mua-too-long-cite-reminder)
