We are just starting to use Xmh. We like it a lot so far. One thing it doesn't do is handle annotation of replys or forwarded messages. Does anybody have a patch that allows that, or know of a version of xmh that does it? Thanks, Ken Nelson

The reason why the -annotate switch for the MH commands forw and repl has no effect when you forward or reply to a message through xmh is that the message is not sent directly from forw or repl. I recollect that xmh passes the message off to the MH command send. This mechanism prevents annotation from taking place when you use xmh. > Does anybody have > a patch that allows that, or know of a version of > xmh that does it? I don't. But I would be interested in receiving one. Instead of ripping out the use of the MH send command in xmh, I think it would be easier to add a call to the MH anno command, done around the time that the message is passed off the send command.

But I would be interested in receiving one. I have! I Use a shell script, which I call "xmh-mark" which is: #!/bin/sh # marks current message as replied now trap "" 1 (echo "Replied: `date`"|cat - $1 >/tmp/xmh-mark$$;mv /tmp/xmh-mark$$ $1)& And I made a button in xmh which triggers it in my .Xdefaults: xmh*commandBox.button12.bitmap: mark3d.xbm xmh*commandBox.button12.translations: #override\ <Btn1Down>,<Btn1Up>: XmhPrintView(xmh-mark)XmhUpdateViewEntry()unset() BUT you need to apply the patches I posted (and sent to Donna) to xmh which allows XmhPrintView to take an optional argument which is a script shell to apply to the current message. They are available by anonymous ftp on avahi.inria.fr, as pub/xmh-koala.patch NOTE: this will allow you to annotate manually by clicking on a button. To annotate automatically would need a little more patches to xmh... -- Colas Nahaboo, Bull Research France -- Koala Project -- GWM X11 Window Manager Internet: colas@mirsa.inria.fr, Phone: (33) 93.65.77.70, Fax: (33) 93 65 77 66 INRIA Sophia, 2004, rte des Lucioles, B.P.109 - 06561 Valbonne Cedex, FRANCE
