Re: LOG & LOGABSTRACT question [Was Re: spawning an external app]

I've never tried this, but can you define on a per-recipe basis whether to
log not to log? as opposed to per xxxrc file?

Yes, and yes.

As a followup question, does LOGABSTRACT give just a brief synopsis of the
arrival and handling of a message? and is LOGABSTRACT=on the default
behaviour if a logfile is named?

(That's two follow-up questions, not one.)  No, and no.

LOGABSTRACT set on allows you to shunt messages to the logfile
with the

        LOG="Your text goes here"

line.  Often people put a newline in the quotes or pre-define a
newline, e.g.,

NL="
"

and then use `$NL' in the log entry to make it nice and readable.


Btw, somebody recently fed my address as from the Cc: in this message
to a spammer.  Thanks, pal, whoever you were.  (But my filters
still caught the spam.)
