Re: formail: how to prefix subject?

Hi Mathias,


Remember to also detect for looping. I created an extended header called
X-MM-Flags,
if this exists on an incoming I delete the message if the header is my own
- looks for the email address too :)


:0 H
* ^X-MM-Flags:.*F\(lara(_at_)mighty(_dot_)co(_dot_)za\).*
/dev/null

I now do the receipy using formail and adding the extended header :)
The headers Precedence and X-Precendence I added in because mailing lists
add these, and
you don't want to auto-reply to mailing lists (they'll bomb you back :))

:0 Hc
* ^Subject:.*replymessage.*
* !FROM_DAEMON
* !^Precedence:.*
* !^X-Precedence:.*
| (echo "From: lara(_at_)mighty(_dot_)co(_dot_)za"; formail -A "X-MM-Flags:
F(lara(_at_)mighty(_dot_)co(_dot_)za)" -r; cat /tmp/OutOfOffice) |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -flara(_at_)mighty(_dot_)co(_dot_)za

Hope this helps :)

On building an autoreply facility with procmail/formail, I
am wondering how to generate a subject line which
includes the original subject using (was: old subject) or similar?

ie, to a mail with 
      Subject: Hello
I want to reply with:
      Subject: Thanks (was: Hello)

Does anyone have an idea how to do this using formail?

If not I'll have to fall back to perl...

Any help is appreciated
