What about
:0ci # perhaps with `h' flag as well to cut down on attempted write
| echo "Some text you want in the response"
Won't that do the same thing?
No. This "delivers" the message to the program echo. The stdout of
this program is connected to /dev/null, by default.
There is no real compelling reason why this is so, though; it's just something
I decided in the beginning.
So, if nobody has strong objections, this can be changed to connect to
procmail's original stdout. The impact on backward compatibility should
be relatively insignificant.
