Basic.
One of the first things I did when I had procmail running and (mh
installed), was to use `formail -s procmail' to explode and sort my
old mail files into various mh folders. It did a great job of that!
(I had previously written an awk script to do much the same thing, but
procmail/formail does a much, MUCH better job! Quicker too:)
But mh's 'rec' command can do that, too.
As for your mini tutorial and beginner's FAQ ideas etc, Jim, go for
it... procmail _is_ a big animal to tame, and I did feel quite lost
for a long time, and it wasn't until a lot of blood, sweat and tears
had stained my keyboard trying to come to the modest white-belt status
I now have with procmailrc files :-)
I'll keep working on it.
So, if I did a full length book for someone like O'Reilly
you might be interested?
