i have procmail installed on a unix system.

and now I want to get the subject into a variable and use 
that variable as an input of an condition such as mkdir variable.

How can i get the subject in that variable and how do i use that
variable?

This is how you put it into a variable:

        SUBJ=`$FORMAIL -zx 'Subject: '`

It can now be used a standard variable ($SUBJ).  As far as using it as a
variable, the MAN pages have examples on that.

You could do something like this as far as using it in a variable:


        SUBJ=`$FORMAIL -zx 'Subject: '`

        :0
        * ^From.*lamer
        | mkdir $SUBJECT

Lates!
