I have tried this as well and I get no results...
ok, strike that.... My test worked when I changed it to a full path
name.... I am going to go try my real application now...
Thanks!!
Jeremy

I would like to pass the contents of an email to a perl script that I have
written. My script works. I can take a file that contains an email
message
and do:
cat junk.mail | attn.pl
How can I get procmail to do this??
I have tried
| cat | attn.pl
&
| cat - | attn.pl
Neither of these methods seem to work. Any ideas?? Thanks!!!
Why are you using cat? You are taking stdin, and passing it to
cat, which passes it unmodified to stdout. In other words, cat
is a no-op.
| attn.pl
is the same. I dunno if it will do what you're wanting, but the
attempts to use cat above are just no-ops..
Why not show the entire recipe?
