That should add your Old-From, takes less processing time, and lets the
message continue along through your procmailrc, to be delivered however
you'd be delivering email from this buddy.
Thank you - this works like a charm!
Surely in rewriting the From:, you're changing the ADDRESS of your
friend? If so, why can't he just use that other address in the first
place?
It's not the actual e-mail address that has a special character but the
name he put along, i.e., His ^BName <hisaddress(_at_)domain(_dot_)com>
^^
And this is what I am rewriting with this recipe because every time I want
to reply to him, Pine 4.44 complains, and I have to delete his name from
to "To" line and add it manually (from the address book).
Another thing to consider is just _fixing_ Pine so that it supports this
symbol you're dealing with.
Well, nobody at comp.mail.pine could tell me how to do this. That's why
... :(
