I'm not creating a procmail rule though. I am using your LISTNAME
recipe to sort ALL the lists based on their lit-ids,been-there's, and
other headers. I only create special rules for the few lists that
refuse to include useful headers to sort on. If I subscribe to a new
list I don't want to remember to go to the IMAP server and create a new
folder for it.
Someone is going to revoke your title of His Kreminess is you keep
doing that.
I have a title? I mean, I knew about Kitchen Staff Supervisor, but
this new title is news. Does it come with benies?
$MLDIR/$LISTNAME/$MONTHFOLDER.$LISTNAME
won't create the folder $LISTNAME
'man procmailex' provides a working example of creating directories
based on date. It is trivial to tweak it to generate a listname
folder.
Yep. Like I said, it works. I'm not sure if there's a benefit to
testing the directory before hand, but THIS I like:
DUMMY=`test -d $MONTHFOLDER || mkdir $MONTHFOLDER`
it's short, it's obvious what it's doing, it's simple. Elegant, maybe.
Sold.
