Yahoo! groups - trimming prefix
Hello tbtech, I subscribe to a lot of Yahoo! groups which prefix their subjects with [Group title]. Obviously I use this prefix as one of the criteria for sorting the emails into their respective folders. However, once in the folder, all the emails have the same prefix and it becomes redundant and takes up unnecessary space. Is there some way, using RegEx, that subsequent to moving to the folder, I can rename the subject trimming the prefix (which includes a trailing space after the ] ). Also, would doing this affect any replies I made to these groups. TIA. -- Best regards, Steve mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.61 | Using TBTECH information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Steve, On Sunday, February 23, 2003 at 09:00 GMT +, aliens probed Steve Hill [SH] and found: SH I subscribe to a lot of Yahoo! groups which prefix their subjects with SH [Group title]. Obviously I use this prefix as one of the criteria for SH sorting the emails into their respective folders. You could also sort on the headers. From the limited Yahoo Groups lists I'm on, they seem to have a header, X-Apparently-To:, that you could use. SH Is there some way, using RegEx, that subsequent to moving to the SH folder, I can rename the subject trimming the prefix (which includes a SH trailing space after the ] ). Not internally with TB. The Bat does not allow for editing of received messages*. You could do it with an external script run from your filters, but this method gets annoying to update when you change your folder hierarchy in TB or in Windows. Plus it requires knowledge of some scripting/programming language. If you do decide to write a script, you'd have to have a filter which runs the script, passing it a copy of the message. This filter should also delete the original, or move it to a temp folder. The script itself can alter the message any way you please, but then it should run TB with the /Import command-line option. I'll let you figure out the exact switches since they are well documented in the help file. * That's not strictly true. You can drag them to the outbox and edit them manually there, but this method destroys some header field values (ie date/time) SH Also, would doing this affect any replies I made to these groups. I doubt it. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Current version is 1.61 | Using TBTECH information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

JA Not internally with TB. The Bat does not allow for editing of JA received messages*. A limited header editing capability, such as the Subject: header, would be very, very appreciated in situations like this, when a cleanup would be helpful. Mybe the edited msg could have both the original and the edited message like this: X-TB-Subject: Re: R: [somelist] Fw: [some other list] Re: Great idea! Subject: Great idea!
