and tells us,
As it stands above, the recipe won't work.
And I'm a bonehead. As I was just about to send a long reply to this
message, I found the issue: I left a space after the first 2 "\"s at
the end of the line. As soon as I removed the spaces, the recipe did
exactly as I intended.
The recipe's intent, FWIW, is to take the entire body of a message and
cat it into a text file. The text file is now a large .sql file that is
read in by an Informix command line program called dbaccess. Once the
query is complete, a blank e.mail is mailed to me at my main machine
[well, the subject isn't blank], letting me know that the query [which
can take up to 3 hours] has finished.
Ok, I'm still a bonehead...thanks for your time, David..sorry to waste
it. :(
