If I have a saved folder, and want to extract mail from it
based on From: field and save it to another file or re-direct it to
/dev/null is there any simple way to do it?
You can use formail -s to split a berkeley mbox-type folder:
formail -s procmail some-procmailrc < some-folder
You may want to add a -Y flag to both the commands if you want to ignore
Content-Length: headers:
formail -Y -s procmail -Y some-procmailrc < some-folder
The file "some-procmailrc" should be a file of procmail recipes doing what
you want.
