Package: procmail Version: 3.22-16 Severity: important When trying to split a mailbox into one file per message like this: formail -ds sh -c 'cat > msg.$FILENO' < mbox-test
I noticed that formail skips over mails that begin (after the From-line) with a headerfield that matches "*From: ". If this headerline comes lateron formail splits just fine, but a mailbox like e.g. the following is treated like one single mail: ------8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<----- From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 10 12:52:11 2006 TFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: foo bar whatever 1 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 12:51:14 +0200 mailbody From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 10 13:48:11 2006 TestFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: foo bar whatever 2 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 13:45:17 +0200 mailbody From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 10 14:30:11 2006 XFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: foo bar whatever 3 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 14:29:06 +0200 mailbody ------8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<----- The mailserver of my provider happens to add a "KFrom: " headerfield right at the beginning of the mail which renders formail useless. :-( -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (400, 'proposed-updates'), (400, 'stable'), (300, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (300, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.8 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages procmail depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries Versions of packages procmail recommends: ii fetchmail 6.3.4-5 SSL enabled POP3, APOP, IMAP mail ii sendmail-bin [mail-transport- 8.13.7-2 powerful, efficient, and scalable -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
