I get a lot of automated announcements that contain a lot of stuff that
doesn't concern me, so I wrote this recipe to only let them through if they
contain "foo" or "bar" in the body:
:0:
* ^From:(_dot_)*root(_at_)(_dot_)*\(_dot_)domain(_dot_)com
* ^Subject:.*Swatch\ Report.*
{
:0 B
* !(foo|bar)
$TRASH
}
$MAIL
That works fine and eliminates a lot of mail I don't need. However, the
individual messages have a lot of text, so I'd like to trim down the messages
I do get by grepping for foo|bar in the body of the message and having only
that display in the body. The problem is that just piping it through grep will
remove my headers, too, which I obviously don't want. I thought maybe I could
use formail to grab the headers, then run the message through grep, and
re-prepend the captured headers to the truncated body, but that seems
difficult and unwieldy (and perhaps impossible). So I wanted to check here
first to see if there were better solutions.
