Re: Procmail problem?

Are there plans for the procmail maintainers to patch the regular
distribution?

I'm sure that it will change in 3.23, but it's been 8 months and hasn't
come out yet.

I'd prefer not to change mharc to work-around this bug in procmail and
netbsd, especially if there is a functional patch for procmail that
fixes the problem.

I agree (for what that's worth :)  For those who are unable to patch
their versions of procmail, changing the procmailrc file is probably
the best route.

I haven't actually tried using mharc yet, so I might be full of it.  But
I was wondering; is there any reason why the entire message is passed to
extract-mesg-date?  i.e.

  :0 Wi
  MESGDATE_=| /tmp/bin/extract-mesg-date -fmt '%Y-%m'

Could that be done as

  :0 Wih
  MESGDATE_=| /tmp/bin/extract-mesg-date -fmt '%Y-%m'

instead?

I do feel that some of the other ones (like mkdir) shouldn't be 
pipes; i.e.

  :0 Wic
  * ? test ! -d $MBOXROOT/.catch
  | mkdir -m 755 -p $MBOXROOT/.catch

takes the message body and header and pumps it through mkdir and makes
a new copy of the message in memory; doing

  :0
  * ? test ! -d $MBOXROOT/.catch
  `mkdir -m 755 -p $MBOXROOT/.catch`

just creates the dir and shouldn't do anything with the message.
