To whom it may concern,
I would greatly appreciate if you can answer the following question.
I just installed procmail v3.11pre7, with the .forward file
"|IFS=' ' && exec /yalow2/users/thang/franklin2/bin/procmail -f || exit 75
#thang"
and with the .procmailrc file
SHELL=/bin/sh
LINEBUF=4096
PATH=$HOME/franklin2/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
VERBOSE=off
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
# the following recipe to test
:0
* ^From:.*Thang
temp
Both files are user, group, and world-readable. My problem is if I send
myself mail, without the last three lines of the .procmailrc file, I
correctly get mail in the $HOME/Mail/inbox folder which PINE reads
correctly. However, with the last three lines included, mail is sent
correctly to the $HOME/Mail/temp folder listed as a separate file (such as
msg.ArKD), but which PINE can not read (it said there is 0 message in the
temp folder). In addition, my unix shell prompts me that I receive new
mail, BUT displays the first few lines of the OLDEST message, instead of
the message I just received (the newest message). Likewise, I get the same
errors when I use the above .procmailrc with the last three lines deleted
but with DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox. (The message is delivered to inbox as a
file (msg.58UE) but which PINE cannot read.) What is the cause of this and
how can I fix it?
thank you very much for your assistance,
thang
