but AFAIK any <CR><LF> pair has been reduced to <LF> by the time a
message gets to procmail.
I don't believe that. At least in the case of processing old Wintel
Eudora Pro archives, mail that has a <CR><LF> persists through both
formail and procmail, and ends up getting delivered that way. For
this reason I created the following recipe:
:0 hbfw
* REFILTER_OLD_MAIL ?? true
| dos2unix
I don't like testing against "true" in the above recipe, because I
know procmail has defined a constant that includes: true, on, yes, 1,
etc. Anyone know if that's purely internal to procmail, or can I
declare a boolean and make use of it somehow?
BTW- thanks for clearing things up on the \< metacharacter. It's
interesting to find that hyphens are treated differently than
underscores, when both usually tend to act as connectors.
