I was wondering whether it was more efficient to use formail or a
procmail recipe when extracting headers into variables. For example,
if you wanted to read in the Sender field, which of these is better:
SENDER=`formail -xSender:`
:0
* ^Sender:[ ]*\/.*
{ SENDER = ${MATCH} }
Is the procmail one faster because it doesn't have to fork another
process?
Yes, exactly.
