Re: Adding custom mail headers via a filter?

2002-10-14 23:03:54
So the claim is that if my filter echos a new message to stdout that procmail will take that as the message?

In order to do this I want to add custom headers to the incoming messages in my filter.

How is it possible to modify the incoming message from within a filter?

Disclaimer: I'm a 2nd-day n00b.
That said, try this as your destination:

|(formail -A"Header: Description")>$MAILDIR/copy

this will add, as you say. To replace, use -I instead of -A, and to replace
but create an "Old-Headername:" header use -i.

Does procmail see the filters stdout?

I believe so - that's what it uses to deliver to the mailbox.

The filter sees the message via stdin obviously but how do I mess about with that?

I'm not sure what you mean by "mess about"...

Anyway, HTH.
