Re: Adding lines to body

Inge Balswick wants

to add/append a few lines to the body of a message before forwarding
it. Preferably from a file. How? 

From Jari's procmail tips (ftp://cs.uta.fi/pub/ssjaaa/pm-tips.html),
section 15.3:

    :0 fbw
    | echo "This is a line of text _before_ the body"; \
      cat -

    :0 fbw
    | cat - ; \
      echo "This is a line of text _after_ the body"

    :0 fbw               # catenate a canned message before the body
    | cat msg.txt -

    :0 fbwi              # replace the body with a canned message
    | cat msg.txt

Inge, just revert cat's arguments in the third example to get the file
*after* the body: 
    :0 fbw
    | cat - msg.txt
