A lot of mail I get from mailing lists managed by some dumb list software
does not have the References: or even the In-Reply-To: header and so I have
to rely mostly on Subject: header sorting to organize the mailbox.
To compound the problem, some stupid MUAs out there (PC-based surely) have
the following Subject: header.
Subject: Re: The real subject -Reply
^^^^^^
or even
Subject: Re: The real subject -Reply -Reply
The stupid '-Reply' string above throws off the Subject: sorting and these
mails are detached from the thread they belong to.
How can I trim out the -Reply string from the subject here?
Ideally, I dont want to fork off 'sed' to do the job and have procmail do
it itself?
I came up with this:
:0fh
{
SUBJECT=|formail -x Subject|sed 's/-Reply//g'
:0fh
|formail -i "Subject: ${SUBJECT}"
}
Anyway, open to ideas.
Thanks much,
Vikas
