Hi,
I can't assign a variabe with a pipe:
MAILLANG2=`formail -xX-Spam-Possible-Language: | tr 'a' 'b'`
this doesn't work although this works
MAILLANG2=`formail -xX-Spam-Possible-Language: `
You'd be the same chap posting about problems with invoking shell pipelines
under the heading of "variable in save file"? Does this problem not seem
related to you?
If you're invoking ONLY one program (i.e. no pipeline or anything else
matching $SHELLMETAS), then the SHELL won't be involved, and procmail will
invoke the program by itself. If there's a pipeline, procmail needs to
invoke the shell.
Solve your shell invocation problem, which is the core of your previously
posted problem.
You might try hitting the URL in my sig and retrieving, reviewing, and
running the ProcDiags script I have there - it may provide some
illumination for you.
