Hi everyone:
Sorry this is a bit off-topic, but since I am using several fink
packages for this, I feel marginally justified asking here...
I use procmail to sort all my mailing lists (including fink, textmate
and so forth). On lists where I get a bulk digest, I can split it
apart by piping through a command like "formail +1 -ds >> the_mbox.
Recently I started using sylpheed, which uses MH formatted mail
instead of mbox. There are various ways to get procmail to cope with
this. It works in the absence of formail, if you just give a
directory name like this:
foo/.
However, if you have formail, you must pipe through yet another
program, which I installed with the nmh fink package:
STORE=/sw/lib/nmh/rcvstore
in what follows, FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail as well.
So what I would like to do is save a single bulk digest as individual
mails in both formats, one to browse with sylpheed, and one with
pine. The mbox command works fine, and does the right thing.
The rcvstore one however seems dysfunctional. The digest header is
removed, but the mails aren't split up, so I wind up with a single MH
file deposited in my textmate MH directory that has the header for
only the first of the (eg 30) emails it contains.
# TextMate.app mailing list
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{
:0 c
| ${FORMAIL} +1 -ds | ${STORE} +inbox/textmate
:0:
| ${FORMAIL} +1 -ds >>${MBOXMAILDIR}/textmate_mbox
}
This is beginning to frustrate me. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
