RFC 5229 gives the following example:
if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] ["coyote@**.com",
"wile@**.com"] {
# ${0} is the matching address
# ${1} is always the empty string
# ${2} is part of the domain name ("ACME.Example")
fileinto "INBOX.business.${2}"; stop;
And I do not understand why ${1} is always the empty string.
In this example, ${1} is the part before the < so using ${2} makes sense.
if header :matches "List-ID" "*<*@*" {
fileinto "INBOX.lists.${2}"; stop;
}
I am laso not sure why the first example used **.com instead of *.com (or is
that the reason $1 doesn't contain anything because it is the first * of **?).
If so, my familiarity with the bash syntax for ** may have been my undoing.
If I had
# Given to [email protected]
if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] ["*@*.*"]
# ${1} would contain "kremels"
# ${2} would contain "kreme"
# ${3} would contain "com"
Yes?
