Matches my thoughts :-) -- and as it occurs to me right now, doing it in
one here document should be possible like this, if additional_headers is
changed to have the newline *at the beginning* of the string:
cat <<EOF >"$gen_msg_filename"
From: ${template[from]}
To: ${template[to]}
Message-Id: <${gen_msg_id}>
Subject: ${template[subject]}
Date: ${template[date]}${additional_headers}
${template[body]}
EOF
Or, of course, we could split the here document: base header,
conditionally (if set at all) additional_headers, new line, body.
If you'd like me to prepare (and test) any of these, please tell.
Grüße,
Thomas
PS: Didn't know you'd be doing a presentation of notmuch at LCA2011 -- I
saw your announcement on the IRC channel (re live stream) what it was too
late already. But then, it would have been a rather inconvenient time /
timezone anyways, being based in Germany. So, how has it been?
