Thanks, that's cool, but wait there is more ....

What if say I want to remove the message from the original maildir if and only if procmail has found a recipe for it ?
That way I can what the residue that falls through the cracks reduce as I add and refine procmail recipes.


cheers,
Chris

I have 16K+ messages in my inbox and would like to run procmail
over it





mv mbox whatever
cat whatever | formail -s procmail





its maildir not mbox, but it should still be possible to do the same
sort of thing.



Something along the lines of...


 cd Mail/inbox/
 for msg in cur/* ; do cat "$msg" | procmail ; done

Or p'raps...

 cd Mail/inbox/
 for msg in cur/* ; do cat "$msg" | formail -s procmail ; done
