[CSCMail-Users] filters

[Ralph B. <ral...@ms...>]

Howdy all,
I'm the new kid in town and I have a question about the filter system.
I
subscribe to a group called PBS and I set up the filter as follows:
Filter Name: PBS
Filter type: Subject based
Folder to Move to: PBS
Search expression: [PBS-USERS]
and all my mail goes to this PBS folder. If I'm leaving something out
please ask. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

What version of CSCMail are you using?	If it's the 1.6.1 version, the search
expression is a perl regex, and in that case, you are saying, "anything that
has a P or a B or an S or a U or an R or an E, move to the PBS folder"	What
you really want to use is:
\[PBS-USERS\]  or simply PBS-USERS

In CSCMail 1.7.x filters are simple text matches, and not perl regex'es due to
this type of confusion...

C-version...any hopeful news for us?

Well, I made the decision once the Pronto! fork happened to focus on getting a
solid 1.8.0 release of the perl version out before doing the C version.  Then I
switched jobs, and haven't really had much time to work on either version.  I
have done some work towards turning 1.7.x into something I would be happy to
release as 1.8.0...  Hopefully things will calm down some here after the
hollidays and I'll have more time to deal with it.  Of course, any help anyone
might offer would be greatly appreciated! hehe (hint hint)

Once 1.8.0 is out, then I will focus 100% on the C version, and we'll see what
happens from there.

Ah, stroll on 1.8.0

Since I joined the list I've learned a lot about Perl, sworn at it, and
even written programs in it. I've patched cscmail-1.6.1 so that if it
can't find a configured default mail account when making a new message,
it picks the first one it finds. All great fun.

I'd just like to add my encouragement for the completion of the Perl
version, and thank everyone for doing their bit so far.

Happy New Millenium!
