I'm using /usr/bin/mailx to pipe a html file from a script into Mhonarc.
I'm sticking Content-Type:text/html into the body of the
message right at the top. Mhonarc is ignoring this, so I'm guessing
that it is looking for the Content-Type: text/html in the
header and not the body. Anyone know how to get that into
a header in mailx from the command line? Or am I formatting
something wrong?
If you only do the pipe to mhonarc for html messages that
are not typed properly, you can create a custom resource file
that maps the text/plain type to the HTML filter to get what
you want.
If you pipe other types of message, I am not familiar with mailx,
so I do not know how the piping functions in mailx. If you are
able to pipe a message (with its header) to an external process,
the external process can be custom front-end to mhonarc to
add the "Content-Type: text/html" to the header before piping
the data to mhonarc.
Here's a simple Perl program that could work (code not tested):
$ctype = shift @ARGV;
open(MHONARC, "| mhonarc -add -outdir /my/archive") or die;
while (<>) {
if (/^$/) { # End of header
print MHONARC "Content-Type: $ctype\n\n";
last; # Break out
}
print MHONARC $_;
}
while (<>) { print MHONARC $_; }
Change the options to mhonarc in the open call to suit your
needs. You specify the content-type value as the first argument
to the program. Message input can come from stdin or as a
filename on the command-line.
