searching articles
I would like to do a search-engine like search on a (local, gnus) mail archive. I just tried (in the directory where my mail resides) M-x grep -i -nH -e "modular" $(grep -l "testInterpolant" *) but this seems very clumsy. Any better idea?

Searching articles
When searching articles using gnus-summary-search-article-forward or backward, the search includes headers and body. Is it possible to search only the body of the articles? -- ~ ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Currently, there are two very good competitors in that field. The first is mairix [1] and the second is notmuch [2]. The former is integrated into Gnus via the nnmairix backend that's included in Gnus and recent emacsen. The latter is very new and has an emacs interface, too, but provides no Gnus backend. But it's not too difficult to jump from a message found by notmuch to jump to that message in Gnus. I have a function for that. Whichever you choose, both should be 1000 times faster than grepping all mail.

M-x lgrep and for a recursive search M-x rgrep Also emacs23 ships with mairix. From the mairix manual "Mairix is a tool for indexing and searching words in locally stored mail.

I don't think so, no. But you could attack the problem a different way, with "/ b" limiting to body. It doesn't behave quite the same way, but would produce similar results...

nnimap and searching articles by message-id
Hi, It turns out that the IMAP server I am using requires the message-id be stripped of the enclosing angle brackets when searching for messages like so: UID SEARCH HEADER Message-Id ".y...@foobar.com" Not sure who is not compliant here: Gnus/nnimap or the IMAP server? I found that gnus-summary-refer-article and gnus-article-refer-article could be modified to suppress the angle brackets. That doesn't seem to be the right solution however as I would think the fix needs to be made in nnimap.el instead. Can anybody suggest a proper way to resolve the problem while allowing for article referencing by message-id when reading news through nntp and email through imap? Thanks, --Peter ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

A quick scan through the RFC2822 - Internet Message Format reveals the following, but I am not sure if that is enough to convince anyone. Semantically, the angle bracket characters are not part of the msg-id; the msg-id is what is contained between the two angle bracket characters. Thanks for the patch. It didn't work for what I needed (e.g. fetch the parent article) until I applied analogous changes to the other occurrence of search by message-id in nnimap.el: nnimap-request-article-part.

Can you and Reiner put together a patch? Should be a simple one. I think stripping off the angle brackets MAY cost some efficiency in other IMAP servers (maybe they hash by the full message ID), but I don't know. The SEARCH reference in RFC 3501 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3501.txt) says that search by any field is by contained string, so as far as the standard is concerned stripping off the angle brackets is harmless. I would make it a user option unless we're sure Courier, Dovecot, Exchange, and UW IMAP will work the same way with and without the change.
