Yes. It's 100% accurate and fast.
A better solution would be this, unless you are running procmail -Y:
:0fw
| formail -A"Content-Length: 000000"
This will only add a Content-Length header if there isn't one in the
message already. You might still want to check whether there is a
Content-Length header from earlier, for performance purposes. Procmail
will notice the incorrect Content-Length and fix it before writing the
message.
At least Emacs based MUA's don't rely on Content-Length
(VM,RMAIL,MH,GNUS..), but I have heeard that Sun's mailtool goes
beserk. Does anyone know what elm, pine or mutt etc thinks about
Content-Length ?
I believe Elm uses it, too. BTW, Emacs VM mode can read and generate
this format if you ask nicely.
