I checked out AWK and tried using it to insert spaces at the start of multiline headers. I got half-way but ran into trouble. I'm trying to go with perl now as it is much faster and seemingly more capable. I've ran into a problem that I can't figure out, though. The behaviour of the following seems very strange: my $pid = open2(*Reader, *Writer, 'formail -x From:'); # dies with "Broken Pipe" my $pid = open2(*Reader, *Writer, 'formail -I ""'); # never returns my $pid = open2(*Reader, *Writer, 'cat'); # never returns Have I, a perl newbie, done something really newbtabulous? Or perhaps there's something wrong with my installation of Perl. The above are pretty much the same as the IPC man page's Bidirectional Communication section. Should I try the open_proc it talks about instead? Is open_proc somewhere in portage? Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
