Feature Request: Append @domain to username

[peterjschroeder]

Would you consider adding an option to append the username+domain to the From header?

Example:

https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/

From: LittleBigDwarf \LittleBigDwarf@dragonsfoot.org\

I can add such option, but I don't think I can strip the subdomain, as I don't think this can be done in a consistent manner. So it will be <LittleBigDwarf@www.dragonsfoot.org> instead of <LittleBigDwarf@dragonsfoot.org>.

Couldn't this be done with?:

"http://www.dragonsfoot.org" .split('.', 1)[-1]

The issue is that on many forum hosting sites each subdomain corresponds to a separate forum with separate users. An addr-spec in the From header is presumed to be a unique identifier, so I think it would be too confusing to have both John@a.example.com and John@b.example.com both under John@example.com.

If removing the subdomain is crucial for you, then I'd rather look into adding a capability to add a post-processing hook to do that.

Understood, no problem. I tend to visit phpbb forums so I didn't consider that.

For redp https://github.com/peterjschroeder/redp I set the Message-ID header to handle unique identifiers.

I plan on writing a replying script to the forum for mutt, but I can work with what you have. Usually a mbox or mail file has an email in <>, which would be the fake email I was suggesting.

[mikwielgus]

I did as I described.

That is to say, for a replying script, perhaps what you're looking for to read from the email headers is actually the base URL of the forum (https://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/). This is not written in the output yet, but will eventually be.

Thank you.
