I thought procmail had some directive to 'bounce" messages? Haven't used it for a while. Cheers, Cameron Simpson In the end I used the procmail "forward" directive (!). The semantics of "forward" vs "bounce" caused me to dismiss that directive. Mutt's (and my) meaning of forward is to include the message as part of the body of another message. Procmail's forward is like mutt's bounce in that the message is delivered to another address with the body is unchanged and only headers are added.

Example from one of my scripts: mutt -f "$folder" -e "push '$pattern'" I still recommend just using sendmail directly though. I thought procmail had some directive to 'bounce" messages? Haven't used it for a while. Cheers, Cameron Simpson

Can Bounce command be used from the command line?
Some messages I receive my wife should see also. Rather than
"Forward" ("f" command) them, I typically "Bounce" ("B" command)
them to her.
I would like to automate this procedure for certain sender addresses
so I'm developing a procmail recipie.
Is there a way to use mutt from the command like to "Bounce" a
received message. I had hopes for the '-e "command"' option, but
that is limited to configuration commands.
Thanks,
Jon
