Are there enough hooks?
-
Should notice when there are `Reply-To:' addresses.
-
Should notice `Real-Name:', `Full-Name:', and
`Senders-Name:' fields.
-
Some way to notice congruent addresses. For example, the
addresses
foobar@fido.pooch.com
and foobar@rover.pooch.com
are likely the same, and the user shouldn't be hassled about them.
-
The above should realize not only that these addresses are the same:
John Smith <smith@foo.bar.com>
,
John Smith <smith@baz.bar.com>
but, and this is harder, that
these are as well: John Smith <smith@foo.bar.com>
,
smith@baz.bar.com
-
Should have a "default domain" so that mail to
foo@bar
can be
hashed canonically as foo@bar.crunch.com
.
-
Maybe some of this stuff should be in an improved version of
`mail-utils.el' instead of here, since it's generally useful.
Joe Wells has started working on a better mail-address utility package.
-
Should have a command for merging together two divergent copies of
a `.bbdb' file (in case you read mail on one machine and news on
another, for instance.)
-
The interfaces should share more code.
-
This documentation should be written in NewSpeak.
Thanks to my valiant team of beta testers for many useful suggestions.
This hack would be far less insidious without their input!
