Procmail Gurus,
The problem is the date being created by procmail on the first line, as in
the following.
From procmail-request(_at_)Informatik(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE Wed Jan 22
14:52:05 1997

I am a newbie to procmail and formail, but am downloading mail from ISP
to a file, then create valid headers with dates inside procmailrc, but it seems
that procmail regenerates the "From" line after the .procmailrc changes.
The general procedure is
cat $TMPFILE | formail -s procmail .procmailrc
where .procmailrc contains the rules
:0 fhw # remove from line
| formail -I "From "
:0 fhw # recreate from line
| formail -a "From " -a "Date:"
What am I missing, any suggestions. I have searched the archives and FAQ's,
and tried every possible imaginable combination. Please Help, I will summarize
to the list.
Thanks,
jwf
