Hi folks,
I use procmailfile, a simple script that does:
formail -f -s procmail $* < $file
Qeustion: Is it possible to pass a mail file through a particular
filter, and have the resulting output just go to a newer version of
$file ? Normally, I just let procmail use my $HOME/.procmailrc, but
these days, with my anti-spam filtering, it is just too costly to
reprocess a mail file.
Question 2: Does formail -s pass *all* headers? I use emacs VM for my
mail, and when I reprocess it with procmail, it seems to lose certain
VM information which is normally kept in the X-VM-v5-Data: header.
All messages then look as if new!
Question 3: Can output be forced to go back to that newer version of
$file? Yesterday, when I reprocessed a mail file, which contained
outgoing e-mail of mine, it just resent them (which I did not want!).
So if the procmail script even does a call to formail, the resulting
output should only go to the newer file.
Suggestions are appreciated.
Happy upcoming Easter Holiday to those that celebrate it,
--Ralph
