And you can save even more cycles by having a script in the

That's what I thought I said.
What *I* read is that you suggested to put the date in an extra
file and include that every time the recipe is run.
Yes, that's true. An extra rcfile.
What I suggested as an alternative is rewriting the recipe on
a daily basis by concatenating 2 template files and the date
file: Header_template + datefile + footer_template = recipe.
Okay, that would work as well. Once we read the file once, though,
under the separate-file schema, it's in the cache and re-reads are
very fast.
Btw, procmail at start-up knows the current time:
1:34pm [~/Mail] 623[1]> procmail -m VERBOSE=y DEFAULT=/dev/null /dev/null <
/dev/null
procmail: [15014] Thu Oct 6 13:34:29 2005
procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/dev/null"
procmail: Rcfile: "/dev/null"
procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/net/u/1/d/dman"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/dev/null"
procmail: Opening "/dev/null"
Folder: /dev/null
Too bad we can't harness that knowledge somewhere inside the rcfile.
