Re: How to save article w/o running it through "display hook" filter?

I don't think this is necessarily related to an additional filter
but inherent to Slrn: If you save a /displayed/ or already read
article that has eg. Content-Transfer-Encoding quoted-printable
with umlauts, the article is saved decoded (but with the "wrong"
header).

Workarounds:

1) Mark article as new, exit group, reenter, and save unread
article from index /before/ displaying.

2) Create a read_article_hook that saves raw_article_as_string()
(because calling raw_article_as_string has above restriction as
well) in a variable make that accessible to a function; roughly
like this (untested):

implements ("RawArt");

variable rawart;

static define read_article_hook ()
{
  rawart = raw_article_as_string ();
}
  

static define get_raw ()
{
  replace_article (rawart);
  message (strcat (_function_name (), ": replaced article with raw version"));
}

definekey ("RawArt->get_raw", "R", "article");
