I can write the macro as piping to "formail -x From:" and feed that to my script via stdin. Then edit that in my script to get the user@host address portion. BTW I will use the macro to build up a list of email addresses of advertisers who I will accept email from, but wish to filter into a separate "ads" mailbox. I was hoping to not need formail, instead passing something like the "%f" ?variable?parameter?flag? or whatever it is called. That would be the full "From" string including the sender's "real" name. What I was looking for was how to use the %f (if possible in a macro) and if an alternative was available where mutt already removed the sender's real name. Jon -- Jon H.

Not the full address, just the > "user@host" part. I'm pretty ignorant about Mutt's macro features, having never had any specific occasion to need those facilities. However, what I will say is, if you can figure out how to pass the address to your script, you can easily convert it to user@host in the script. I suspect it'll be easier to do that than to get mutt to do exactly that. Hope that helps. -- Derek D.

shell script macro
I'm trying to write an index macro invoking a shell script. Simple enough, but I would like to pass the current sender's address to the script. Not the full address, just the "user@host" part. suggestions? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgcomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd. (703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C)

Re: script, macro
no not while vi is open...I mean I am in mutt. I run a macro, asks me some questions, and passes it right to vi well i guess even further is, what are ppl doing when they say they have soemthing that is being passed through a scriptcould it be the other way, the script asking them even further on this issue..., i guess I could just make a script and have it echo to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject ???

You can write a macro that sets $editor to a script which runs the questionnaire, then runs your real editor, then sends and changes $editor back to something normal. well i guess even further is, what are ppl doing when they say they have soemthing that is being passed through a scriptcould it be the other way, the script asking them Don't know what you mean. even further on this issue..., i guess I could just make a script and have it echo to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject ???
