Which is the problem here: getting the alerts, or having the message not
marked as already read?
The messages being marked as unread is my problem, I want to know when
other mails come in.
(Odhiambo's suggestion to trash mail from yourself is a little bit radical
for me; after all, you had some reason for sending it to yourself in the
first place.)
Exactly.
If the problem is having a "new" flag in the index screen of your mail
client on a message that you already saw because you wrote it,
MATCH # clear out any existing value
:0fwh
* $ ^From.*$LOGNAME
* 1^0 ^Status:\/.+
* 1^0
| formail -I "Status: ${MATCH}RO"
I put that in my .procmail and it works - thanks very much. I'm not a
procmail wizard myself (I only use it for mailing list filtering) so I
doubt I'd be able to figure that out myself!
Thanks,
Ross
