33.11.1 Making Summaries
Here are the commands to create a summary for the current Rmail buffer. Once the Rmail buffer has a summary, changes in the Rmail buffer (such as deleting or expunging messages, and getting new mail) automatically update the summary.
- h
C-M-h
- Summarize all messages (
rmail-summary
). - l
labels
RET
C-M-l labels
RET
- Summarize messages that have one or more of the specified labels (
rmail-summary-by-labels
). - C-M-r
rcpts
RET - Summarize messages that match the specified recipients (
rmail-summary-by-recipients
). - C-M-t
topic
RET - Summarize messages that have a match for the specified regexp
topic
in their subjects (rmail-summary-by-topic
). - C-M-s
regexp
RET - Summarize messages whose headers match the specified regular expression
regexp
(rmail-summary-by-regexp
). - C-M-f
senders
RET - Summarize messages that match the specified senders. (
rmail-summary-by-senders
).
The h or C-M-h (rmail-summary
) command fills the summary buffer for the current Rmail buffer with a summary of all the messages in the buffer. It then displays and selects the summary buffer in another window.
C-M-l labels RET (rmail-summary-by-labels
) makes a partial summary mentioning only the messages that have one or more of the labels labels
. labels
should contain label names separated by commas.
C-M-r rcpts RET (rmail-summary-by-recipients
) makes a partial summary mentioning only the messages that have one or more recipients matching the regular expression rcpts
. This is matched against the ‘To
’, ‘From
’, and ‘CC
’ headers (supply a prefix argument to exclude the ‘CC
’ header).
C-M-t topic RET (rmail-summary-by-topic
) makes a partial summary mentioning only the messages whose subjects have a match for the regular expression topic
. With a prefix argument, the match is against the whole message, not just the subject.
C-M-s regexp RET (rmail-summary-by-regexp
) makes a partial summary that mentions only the messages whose headers (including the date and the subject lines) match the regular expression regexp
.
C-M-f senders RET (rmail-summary-by-senders
) makes a partial summary that mentions only the messages whose ‘From
’ fields match the regular expression senders
.
Note that there is only one summary buffer for any Rmail buffer; making any kind of summary discards any previous summary.
The variable rmail-summary-window-size
says how many lines to use for the summary window. The variable rmail-summary-line-count-flag
controls whether the summary line for a message should include the line count of the message. Setting this option to nil
might speed up the generation of summaries.
