I've got a recipe that I use to rename a file using mv.
Procmail will still provide the mail message on stdin to the mv, so this
is no more efficient. I think the current feeling is that something like:
:0 wcih
| /usr/bin/mv $FILE $FILE.save
is best. Note that this uses the 'h' flag to send only the header,
as it's usually smaller than the body.
How about something like:
:0 wcih
| cat - >/dev/null; /usr/bin/mv $FILE $FILE.save
I always try to toss any unused stdin to /dev/null on the theory
that that strategy is most efficient, and won't pop out anywhere
to haunt me later. Am I wasting effort here?
