I use mailutil copy (might be different from the latest release, I use
Ubuntu packages...) to create a temporary mailbox for spamassassin's
sa-learn.
I get some warnings and I would like to suppress them. There are sent to
stderr so I cannot suppress them without suppressing error messages,
too.
warning: Unknown flag: $MDNSent
warning: Unknown flag: $MDNSent
warning: Unknown flag: $MDNSent
I get similar warnings for $Forward which seems a new flag alpine sets.
Alpine and Outlook are used with IMAP folders. It would be nice if
mailutil could get a --ignore-unknown-flags switch.
BTW: I do not really understand this warning. Maybe the warning wants to
give me a hint that the target mailbox might loose these flags because
they are somewhat special? I really copy "mbx to mbx" so there should
not be a loss anyway. For me the loss of any flag is no problem because
sa-learn should ignore them.
Another note: I tested mailutil copy in "mbx to unix" (mbox) mode to see
whether the warnings disappear (they don't). spamassassin can learn from
mbox (default) and mbx. I noticed that the "THIS INTERNAL MESSAGE
CONTAINS FOLDER DATA" (or similar) message at the beginning of the mbox
file was copied by mailutil, too. Maybe another switch could be used to
drop this message as it should not be learned by sa. But this isn't a
high prio request (should be irrelevant in practise).
Best regards
Stefan
