Yes, but it's not convenient or pretty. There are two appraoches which are roughly equivalent: Approach A. Your macro should: 1. save the current e-mail to a well-known location 2. source a program -- that is, use "source" with a pipe at the end in order to treat the program's output as muttrc commands. The program that you source would: a. parse the e-mail that was saved to a well-known location b. use the details thus learned to construct muttrc commands that do what you want. Appraoch B is an inverse, in a way. Your macro should: 1. Pipe the message to a program. 2. Source a muttrc from a well-known location. The program that you pipe to would: a. parse the e-mail that appears in stdin b. use the details thus learned to construct muttrc commands, which it saves to a well-known location. -- David Champion • [email protected]
