Everyone,
I am just curious as to why this mailing list, about a mail
processing program, is designed to foil mail reading program rules.
It is a little annoying to have to select and drag all of the
Procmail Mailing list information into a folder that I have created to
store such information.
The other mailing lists that I subscribe to simply put in the subject
section a simple explanation of where this mail is coming from. May I ask
why that is so difficult to do?
Actually while I am at it, could anyone explain how to set that up
using Procmail? Perhaps that could be forwarded to the maintainers of
this list so that they could follow suit with most all other mailing
lists.
All I am looking for is a simple [Procmail] to be placed in front of
the subject line. If it is simply something that Procmail is unable to
perform and this list "must" use Procmail for philosophical reasons, then
I am ok with that.
I've been subscribed to the list (lurking) for some time. I've never had any
problem sorting my mailing lists including procmail with a simple recipe.
:0:
* ^List-Id:.*procmail
/var/spool/mail/procmail
This is not necessarily the best (It could be extracted by quite a lot of
other headers other than the subject) but it has worked fine for me for quite
a while.
If you are thinking of it being like smartgroups, there are other problems
there.
If you put extraneous garbage in the subject line it displaces the subject,
which is what the header is for, along what is often a small display for the
subject in the reader which will probably truncate it.
