Now if only I can get that sed pattern to work ...
For removing consecutive whitespace? The updated sed pattern I posted
should pretty much work.
Yipee! Your pattern
s/[ ][ ]*/ /g
works (where there's a space and tab in between the brackets). The
original pattern of
s/ */ /g
(where there are only spaces in the regexp and the replacement) results in
bizarre behaviour such as w o r d s h a v i n g s p a c e s. I use this
(errant) pattern from the shell prompt and it works correctly.
Now to solve the problem of overly long subject lines. (formail returns
the line break.)
