Tom:
Ruud:
$ formail -s procmail -m test84.rc < mbox094elv
That should show a line with several PIDs, one PID per message
in the mbox.
[...] I got only one PID using only
procmail -m recipe1.rc < bellsouth1
Yes, that is normal, procmail doesn't (s)plit up an mbox-file into
(s)eparate message(s).
formail -s does that.
5,$g/^From /s/^From /\nFrom /
and suddenly I had an mbox file, however there was no date on the
"From "
See `man formail`, specifically the options -e and -f.
Without -f, formail creates From_ lines if necessary.
With -e, formail tries to understand mboxes with missing empty lines
between the messages.
formail -s procmail -m recipe1.rc < mbox094elvd
sorted the messages properly
Then you're OK.
I don't know whether to call this behavior a bug in procmail,
or was it designed that way?
procmail is for single messages.
