28.9.3 Further Control of the Subject Database

Normally, the NOTES channel builds a subject database with entries constructed from a message subject line and its corresponding note number. The option NOTES-SUBJECT mapping table can be used to modify what is used in such entries.

The format of the probe into the NOTES-SUBJECT mapping table, i.e., the template, is


conference|subject
If the $Y flag is set in the mapping table pattern, then the pattern is used as the subject database entry.

For instance, the following NOTES-SUBJECT mapping table recursively strips off all but the last sequence number on a subject line for messages to the info-list conference:


NOTES-SUBJECT 
 
  info-list|*$ [*]$ [*]              $R$Y$0$ [$2] 
  info-list|*$ [*]                   $Y$0$ [$1]
