Handling N-way discussions

2000-08-22 09:53:45
I sometimes have discussions with two or more people, with
liberal use of To:, Cc: and Bcc:. I would like to get Procmail
to file a copy of each such message in the mailboxes of *each*
of the participants.

The obvious recipe doesn't work well :

  :0
  ^ From: (_dot_)*stan(_at_)laurel\(_dot_)com
  stan

  :0
  ^ From: (_dot_)*oliver(_at_)hardy\(_dot_)com
  oliver

The trouble with the above is that, if I'm having a three-way
discussion with Laurel and Hardy, Stan's box gets only Stan's
replies and Oliver's box gets only Oliver's replies, making the
thread scattered across several mailboxes.

Is there a way to get Procmail to file a copy of an incoming
message in a each participants' mailboxes *without* leaving a
copy in the spool if all participants have a mailbox ? Beside
writing a rule for each possible combination, that is. <g>
