Hello Folks,

        I sent the following message out on Feb. 27th, but we also had
mailer troubles at that time.  So maybe the following never made it
out.  I never received any replies.  Sorry if this is old stuff to
you, but I still haven't gotten this to work.

        I need a complicated condition that has to be done by a
program using both headers and body.  If the program exits without an
error, I would then like another program to do the action.

        Is this possible with procmail?  Here is what my script looks
like (names were changed to protect the innocent):

:0
* ^TOsobek
* ^Subject:.*test
{
  :0 hbw
  | $HOME/bin/check-abstract

  :0 ahbw
  | (formail -r -k -A"Precedence: junk"  -A"X-Loop: sobek(_at_)irit(_dot_)fr" \
   -i"Reply-To: foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com" ; \
   echo "Test Message" ; \
   cat $HOME/mail/ack.txt ) | $SENDMAIL -t
}

        Any and all suggestions welcome.

        A nice weekend to all,

        --Ralph
