Shorten long subjects

[flatcap]

Coverity

Coverity reports have a pretty long subject. A simple regex-based substitution on the subject will make them look better:

-86  ( 21K)    +   [Jul 30 20 06:34]  [email protected]      New Defects reported by Coverity Scan for FreeBSD
+86  ( 21K)    +   [Jul 30 20 06:34]  [email protected]      Coverity - FreeBSD

The command to achieve that is subjectrx "^New Defects reported by Coverity Scan for (.*)$" "Coverity - %1".

Mailing lists

If you're like me and push mail from different mailing lists in different folders, you don't need to be reminded of which mailing list they belong to by their subject line. I like to modify them like this:

-1  (1.9K)        [Sep 23 19 20:06]  TclConference  [fossil-users] Schedule Up - 26th Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (Tcl'2019)
+1  (4.8K)        [Sep 23 19 20:06]  TclConference  Schedule Up - 26th Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (Tcl'2019)

The command to achieve that is subjectrx '(\[[^]]*\] )' '%L%R'.

Use %1, %2, ... to use capture groups in substitutions. Use %L and %R to use what comes to the left and to the right of the capture.

For our mailing lists:

subjectrx '\[neomutt-devel\] *' '%L%R'
subjectrx '\[neomutt-users\] *' '%L%R'

Yep the general Mailing lists solution subjectrx '(\[[^]]*\] )' '%L%R' works fine for ours too.
