Hi Era,
:0
is there no :0c necessary ?
No, it comes later.
Without the 'c' the message is gone after the recipe does its job.
I wanted to forward a copy of the message. Now I work with the :0c
FROMSUBJ=`formail -rtz -xTo: -xSubject: <rmail.out | \
rmail.out? there is no such file. or is this a variable?
Sorry, I appear to have pasted too directly from my test command line :-)
No problem. And I also replaced the -xTo: with -xFrom:, since I want to see
the sender, and not my own address ;-)
sed 's/\n[ ]*/ /g' | \
Substitute any newlines (optionally followed by random whitespace)
with a single space.
Hmm, that seems not to work.
I tested following:
Subject: This is a very very very very long subject with a second
line on the subject
Then I get:
Subject: John Doe <johndoe(_at_)johndoe(_dot_)com> This is a very very very very
line on the subject
So, the first line will be truncated to say 60 chars
(what I preset with cut -c1-60) and the "\n " still apears and is
not translated into a space before the cut.
:0ch
| formail -I"Subject: $FROMSUBJ" \
| $SENDMAIL $SENDMAILFLAGS pager(_at_)address
}
This is where the body is trimmed off. The :h flag says to feed only
the headers to the action line.
The body is still there. My $SENDMAILFLAGS are -oi -t
I also tried without the -t, but with the same effect: The body is still
there, and I don't want to send it to my pager service....
I'm not sure I understand. What do you have on your disk drive? The
"Best Of" archive?
Yes, the best of and also all the mails of about 16 months of procmail
mailing list messages in a folder. But I have to clean it up, to free
some space. Every mail is also in the web archive.
Thanks,
Konstantin
