  • State changed from “new” to “accepted”

  Do you know if “topic tag” is used in an RFC or something other semi-official documentation? I do like it better than “blob” which was taken from an RFC as far as I can recall :)

  The specifiers.plist file is very tricky to change, but I think the following replacement of the subject parser would make “blob” into a multi-value header, but I cannot really recall where MailMate might assume that it's a single value:

  {
      parsers = {
          subject = {
              header = "subject";
              // Note the non-ASCII colon (\uFF1A - a full width colon) which is used by some Chinese messages.
              specifierRegexFormatString = '(?x)
                  ^\s*                          # Whitespace
                  ((?:\s*${MmSubjectPrefixRegexp}[:：])+)?  # Prefix including things like "Re: Re[5]:".
                  \s*                           # Whitespace
                  ((?:\[([^\[\]]+)\]\s*)+)?     # Subject blob, e.g., "[TxMt]"
                  \s*                           # Whitespace
                  ((?:\s*${MmSubjectPrefixRegexp}[:：])+)?  # Prefix including things like "Re: Re[5]:".
                  \s*                           # Whitespace
                  (.*)$                         # Subject body
                  ';
              specifierCaptures = {
                  1 = { specifier = "prefix"; };
                  2 = { specifier = "topics"; parsers = ( "topic" ); canBeImplicit = :true; };
                  3 = { specifier = "prefix"; };
                  // 4 = { specifier = "blob"; };
                  4 = { specifier = "body"; type="noTabs"; parsers = ( "words" ); };
              };
          };
  
          topic = {
              specifierRegex = '\[([^\[\]]+)\]';
              specifierCaptures = {
                  1 = { specifier = "blob"; };
              };
          };
      };
  }
  

  Let me know when and how it breaks and I'll see if I can eventually make this default behavior. And maybe use “topic” instead of “blob” as the specifier name.

  Quick update: Don't use the above as is. It doesn't work as well as I thought it would (leading to empty subject lines and even crashes).
