Hi Paul,

i'll post my script here, because i always learn something when ralph
corrects my scripts.  ;-)

:-)

    if egrep -q '^(To:|Resent-To:)[[:space:]]*$' $draft ||
        ! egrep -q '^(To:|Resent-To:)' $draft

-i for insensitive?
Factor?  `^ *(Resent-)?To *:'.  Helps the reader and potentially egrep.
Test for the opposite, two become one?  «! egrep -q '^ *To *: *[^ ]'»?

        echo "ERROR: missing or empty 'To:' header...."

`>&2' for stderr?

    numfroms=$(sed -n -e '/^\(From:\|Resent-From:\)/p' -e '/^$/q' $draft |
      wc -l)

`egrep -c'?

        tolap=$(whom $draft | grep ' at laptop\.org')
        fromfox=$(formail -c -x From: < $draft | egrep '@foxharp\.')
        if [ "$tolap" -a "$fromfox" ]

Not likely to be a problem here, but "x$tolap" protects from tolap
starting with a `-'.  But then each needs to become «"x$s" != x», which
is a bit tedious.  [[...]] is much preferred if the shell you're using
has it.

        then
            echo "$attachments"
            echo "(pwd is $PWD)"
        else
            echo "$attachments"
        fi

Duplicate echo can be factored to before the if statement.

Cheers, Ralph.
