sup talk - Oct 2011 - Adding string to 'missing attachment detection'

Hi there,
I sometimes need to write mails in German and need to attach some files
to those mails. I also tend to send mails before attaching the files.
I have the ''mentioned "attachment" but it''s
missing''-option enabled, but
it doesn''t help me in German mails. 

All I''d need is a way to add the word ''Anhang'' to
that mechanism. Can
you tell me where to do this? I tried a web search and looked through
some source files but couldn''t find the right place so far.

Regards,
Philipp

You want to write a ''mentions-attachments'' hook. 
You''ll get the
variables header, and body.  Scan the body for whatever terms you
want/need and return true/false as desired.

Thanks,
but sup does this already, it should be possible to add this single Word
in the appropriate place and be done with this. After all, ruby is an
interpreted language. The sup releases are infrequent, if another one
follows at all, and thus modifying a file is no problem. I don''t have
the time to dig deep enough into ruby and sup either. I see that
http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Hooks lists such a hook but sadly
no example.
Guess I can live without that.

Oh my!  Need to fix it.  My ~/.sup/hooks/mentions-attachments looks like

body.any? { |l| l =~ /^[^>]/ && l =~
/\b(attach|liite|liittee|ohessa|oheise|oheist)[^ ]*\b/i }

Not pretty but works.

Sure, lib/sup/modes/edit-message-mode.rb on line 473 (my version of
sup is fairly old, but this should be close).

The hook is cleaner, but if you want to hack it in directly, that''s
where you''d do it.

Thanks

Thanks, this works. I don''t understand what this line is doing but it
looks very similar in the source and this line is simply easier to hack
for me, so I go with this solution.

Thanks for sharing,
Philipp

Thanks,
I looked it up, it looks similar to the suggested hook line, but the
hook line was easier to modify without risking to mess stuff up.
Thanks for your help.

Philipp
