Re: MHonArc throwing lots of deprecated errors

=v= If the issue is that you've upgraded to Perl 6, you can put something like this in your .bashrc or similar startup file: export PERL6OPT='-M-warnings=deprecated' Or for csh users: setenv PERL6OPT '-M-warnings=deprecated' It would be PERL5OPT if you're using a particularly recent version

You don't need to be an MH user to use this as a filter. (Odds # are that if you don't use MH, you'd probably prefer "procmail" # over "slocal".) # Command line parameters are for the convenience of MH users, but # you can use this program in pipelines and/or with shell redirection # for other mail user agents. # The headers and footers shift and change, so the variables at the # top of the file must shift and change to match.
