Re: formail -l problem

Udi asked further,

How need feature like this?  Do you have an example for usage?

You'd usually use formail -l within procmail to customize the logabstract, like this (and used this way, the string can include variables, which will be evaluated when the trap is executed):

:0
* conditions
{
 LOGABASTRACT=off
 TRAP='formail -l "special string for this situation"'

 :0 flags
 delivery_action
}

or maybe this (not tested; if it works, variables in the string will be evaluated when it is encountered):

:0
* conditions
{
 LOGABSTRACT=off
 LOG=`formail -l "some string here"`

 :0
 delivery_action
}

[about running  formail -l "string" -s < mbox  ]

At least the -s  do summerize, when you grep out the "Folder" linse.

By "grep out" do you mean that that's what you output or that that's what you remove? If you grep Folder:, it will be a very uninformative summary, except for the sizes, because all the Folder: entries will be the string you specified on formail's command line. If you grep -v Folder:, then the From_ and Subject: lines may be of some value (though you'll lose the sizes).
