# TODO
#
# - Add a means of reporting all of the message bodies in a thread. They
# ideally need formatting and should be printable so that a template can
# generate plain text versions for use by the Community News hosts when
# reviewing the last month's messages. This is quite a large task but maybe
# there are mail formatters that can do it.

# DESCRIPTION: Adds more messages downloaded from Gmane to the end of the

# from the configuration file to that and downloads a maximum of

=head1 NAME
summarise_mail - Generate a summary of messages on the HPR mailing list
=head1 VERSION
This documentation refers to summarise_mail version 0.0.5
=head1 USAGE
./summarise_mail [-help] [-debug=N] [-from=DATE] [-to=DATE] [-out=FILE]
[-template=FILE] [-[no]silent] [-[no]checknew] [-initialise=N]
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 8
=item B<-help>
Prints a brief help message describing the usage of the program, and then exits.
=item B<-initialise=N>
This option builds a new mailbox cache. The value B<N> defines the starting
message to be downloaded from the Gmane site. The number defaults to 1, though
this is not advisable since it potentially overloads the Gmane server. The
number of messages downloaded is limited by the B<lookahead> value in the
configuration file (see below).
If a cache file already exists the script will not run. It is necessary to
delete this file before initialising a new one.
After the cache is initialised the script will process the messages it
contains.
The B<-initialise=N> and the B<-[no]checknew> options are mutually exclusive.
=item B<-[no]checknew>
This option defines whether the script will check Gmane for updates to the
mailing list. If updates are found then they will be incorporated into the
cached mailbox file.
If omitted no check is made (B<-nochecknew>).
The B<-initialise=N> and the B<-[no]checknew> options are mutually exclusive.
=item B<-from=DATE>
Specifies the starting date for the mail summary.
The date format should be B<DD-Mon-YYYY> (e.g. 12-Jun-2014), B<DD-MM-YYYY>
(e.g. 12-06-2014) or B<YYYY-MM-DD> (e.g. 2014-06-12).
If this option is omitted the current date is used.
=item B<-to=DATE>
Specifies the ending date for the mail summary.
The date format should be B<DD-Mon-YYYY> (e.g. 12-Jun-2014), B<DD-MM-YYYY>
(e.g. 12-06-2014) or B<YYYY-MM-DD> (e.g. 2014-06-12).
If this option is omitted the last day of the month defined by the B<-from>
date is used.
=item B<-template=FILE>
This option defines the template that will be used to format the report
generated by the script.
If the option is not provided, the script will use a template called
B<mailnote_template.tpl> in the directory which holds the script. This
template generates HTML suitable for incorporation into the Community News
show notes.
=item B<-out=FILE>
This option defines the output file for the report. If the option is omitted
the report is written to STDOUT, allowing it to be redirected if required.
The output file name may contain the characters 'B<%s>'. This denotes the point
at which the year and month in the format B<YYYY-MM> are inserted. For example
if the script is being run for July 2014 the option:
-out=mailreport_%s.html
will cause the generation of the file:
mailreport_2014-07.html
=item B<-[no]silent>
This option controls whether the script reports minimal details of what it is
doing to STDERR. If the option is omitted the report is generated (B<-nosilent>).
The script reports: the starting and ending dates it is working on and the name of the output file
(if appropriate).
=item B<-debug=N>
Runs the script in debug mode if the value of B<N> is greater than 0. The
default setting is zero.
In debug mode the script reports various pieces of information about the
parsing of the mail messages and building of threads.
=back
=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head2 Overview
This script generates a summary of the mail sent to the HPR mailing list over
a period.
Messages to the mailing list are copied to the free B<Gmane> service and the
script uses this to prepare its report. The Gmane service offers
a downloadable interface at
http://download.gmane.org/gmane.network.syndication.podcast.hacker-public-radio
where selected messages can be collected in B<MBOX> format.
=head2 Methodology
The script operates in three phases:
=over 4
=item -
Messages are collected from Gmane and stored in a local cache (a file in MBOX
format). This is expected to be done once, and thereafter new messages are
appended to this file.
=item -
New messages are appended to the cache file. This is done by determining the
last message in the cache then requesting the next block of messages from
Gmane. The downloaded messages are then added to the file.
=item -
The cache is processed to generate the report. Usually the script is given
a start date (and optional end date, though this defaults to the end of the
month in the start date).
The algorithm is as follows:
=over 4
=item -
The script parses out the important headers of all messages in the cache.
=item -
The script walks the header structure in time order joining messages based on
their 'In-reference-to:' and 'References:' headers. Each message gets its
parent recorded as a pointer, and its children as an array of pointers. If
a reference is to a message that is not in the cache then it is not recorded.
=item -
At this point all messages without a parent are either the thread roots or
cases where someone has not replied properly. The script performs a further
join when an "orphaned" message has the same subject as another with a 'Re:'
on the front.
=item -
Now all messages without parents are the best that can be done to detect
thread roots. These are used to make the report.
=item -
The messages that cannot be threaded are those where the sender does not use
'Reply' or where they reply to a digest. Digests are not threaded because they
are blobs of multiple messages.
=item -
Some messages may be threaded erroneously. This happens when a sender, rather
than generating a new message, replies to an existing message but changes the
'Subject:' line. There is not much that can be done to correct this.
=back
=back
=head2 Report Template
The script uses the B<Template> module to format the report. See the default
template B<mailnote_template.tpl> for an example.
The template is passed two variables:
=over 4
=item B<total>
This is a scalar variable containing a number: the count of messages in the
specified range.
=item B<threads>
This is a hash indexed by the message date converted to UTC date then to the
number of seconds since the Unix epoch. Each hash value is a hashref
containing the following fields:
Field Contents
----- --------
from The contents of the 'From:' header
to The contents of the 'To:' header
cc The contents of the 'Cc:' header
date The contents of the 'Date:' header
subject The contents of the 'Subject:' header
archived-at The contents of the 'Archived-at:' header (the Gmane
permalink URL)
count The number of messages in the thread
These messages are the roots of all of the detectable threads in the period.
Sorting them by the main hash key results in the threads being ordered by
their timestamp.
=back
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
A list of every error and warning message that the application can generate
(even the ones that will "never happen"), with a full explanation of each
problem, one or more likely causes, and any suggested remedies. If the
application generates exit status codes (e.g. under Unix) then list the exit
status associated with each error.
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
The script obtains the information it requires to find the mail details from
B<Gmane> from a configuration file. The name of the file it expects is
B<.summarise_mail.cfg> in the
directory holding the script. To change this will require changing the script.
The configuration file format is as follows:
<gmane>
url = http://download.gmane.org/gmane.network.syndication.podcast.hacker-public-radio
template = "$url/%d/%d"
lookahead = 100
</gmane>
<cache>
directory = /home/dave/Community_News/mail_cache
filename = gmane.mbox
regex = "<http://permalink\.gmane\.org/gmane\.network\.syndication\.podcast\.hacker-public-radio/(\d+)>"
</cache>
The elements of this configuration file are explained below. First the
B<gmane> section:
=over 4
=item B<url>
This is the base URL on the Gmane site. It is used to construct URLs for
collecting mail messages. This should not require any changes.
=item B<template>
This is a template which is used to generate the actual URL used to download
messages. The script replaces each '%d' with a number. The first is the
starting message number, and the second the ending number plus one.
This should not require any changes.
=item B<lookahead>
This defines the maximum number of messages to be collected. This number is
added to the first number used when contructing the URL from the B<template>
above. Normally just a few messages are downloaded at a time, but when the
script is used to initialise the mailbox cache file this number of messages may
be downloaded.
This value can be changed if desired, but it is set at 100 in order to avoid
overloading the Gmane servers.
=back
The B<cache> section contains the following:
=over 4
=item B<directory>
This defines the full path to the directory holding the mail cache file.
This may be changed to reflect a change of location.
=item B<filename>
This defines the name of the mail cache. It is expected to be found in the
directory defined above.
This may be changed to reflect a change of name.
=item B<regex>
Individual messages in the cache each hold an URL which provides a permanent
link to the message on the Gmane site. The script uses the regular expression
defined here to collect the message number from this URL. This is how the
script determines the number of the oldest message in the cache when looking
for new messages.
This expression should only be changed with great caution.
