David suggested
1. an unmatched quote left open
2. an unmatched parenthesis or brace left open
3. an unclosed if or while or for or case structure
4. no terminating newline on its last line
It was (1) above, and in the 3rd text line of the method.
Because the error message wasn't appearing until the end of
the action (about 8-10 lines of formail -I, -A and echo's)
I didn't read to carefully all the way back up.....
Guilty party was a line which read
-A X-Loop: Blah(_at_)blah(_dot_)blab";\
instead of
-A "X-Loop: Blah(_at_)blah(_dot_)blab";\
Grrrr......!!!!!
Thanks,
