[imapfilter-devel] Improving Filter Writing Effeciency

[Philippe LeCavalier]

Hi again.

Sorry to bug you. I'm asking this on the list just in case other lua
illiterates may benefit from this...

If I want to encompass more subjects and move them to more mailboxes,
can I do

for _, account in ipairs({ account1, account2 }) do
account.INBOX:contain_subject('[OPEN]'):move_messages(account['help/Open']) +
account.INBOX:contain_subject('[CLOSED]'):move_messages(account['help/Closed'])
end

Is '+' the still the correct syntax to indicate to offlineimap the
operand 'OR'?

Thanks,
Phil
