The NeXT newsgroups can be accessed by email, which is the way I
normally post to them, because they send a confirmation of posting.
The confirmation is a message saying that my message was posted
without any errors, and then quotes the message for me in its
entirety.
What I would like to do is take these confirmations and put a copy
of my post (not the message) into a mailbox.
I've tried splitting the mailbox like this:
cat posts | formail +1 -des >> newposts
which splits each message into two, but I don't want the first part
of the message. Here's an example of what I mean:
[I put that space in front of the "From uucp", normally of course
it would be against the left margin]

Your article, enclosed below, was successfully submitted to

Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.misc
Organization: Antigone Press gateway, San Francisco
Return-Path: <luomat(_at_)nerc(_dot_)com>
[snip]
and the rest of my message headers and all would be here.
Right now I am matching these messages like this:
:0
*^Sender: uucp(_at_)antigone(_dot_)com
*^Subject: Your submission to *
{
:0BD
*Your article, enclosed below, was successfully submitted
to comp.sys.next.*
|appnmail Computer-Stuff/UsenetPosts
}
(appnmail is a NeXT command which appends the message to a
NeXTFormated mailbox).
A rejected message would begin:
"Your article, enclosed below, was NOT submitted to"
and that should end up in $DEFAULT (which it does now)
Any clues appreciated.
