Hello! % some friends of mine are not able to or not % willing to configure their eMail Software % in that way that the From: Header is set to: % Realname <email@address> or email@address (Realname) They must not be True Friends then :-) % And i hate it. *grin* % % No i would like to set up a little procmail rule % to replace the From: header with a correct one. % % What i'm not sure about is: % Is this ok for the eMail-system? % I mean: is it ok to do such thing? Or will i break % somethink up? Since this is incoming mail, you won't muck up anything except perhaps that mail message in your mailbox (well, perhaps your mailbox itself if you really manage to screw up, but it's still just you). It should be easy enough to have a rule something like :0 f * From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /path/to/some_clever_script where the clever script reads the mail, traps the From: line, optionally writes it back out as an X-Orig-From: line or such, matches the right-hand side to how you want to reformat that user, whips up a new From: line, and then continues to spit the whole thing out until it's done. The only reason this isn't a simple sed script is because it's nicer to have * From: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|...) once in .procmailrc with the logic in a separate script than to have a procmail rule for every dorky|silly pal. % % thanks % sascha % % -- % I am Homer of Borg.
