  Why don't you use $sendmail?

 I like to send my mail through Google's smtp. Would I still be able to do 
 that?

 Sure why not, the idea is to set $sendmail to a wrapper script that
 extracts the mid and then hands the message over to whatever transport
 you'd like to use.

Ah that would be nice indeed! But I don't know how to do smtp with
Google directly. I just let mutt take care of it. I will think about
whether I want to venture down that road.

Kind regards,

Xu

You could use formail. Have a google on 'extract Message-ID'

Thank you for the idea Chris. That is indeed my strategy. But to do
that I need to have the sent file to get it from. And suppose I have a
very large file. I just want the last message ID. As far as I know,
formail does not have an efficient way to get the last message-id.

Kind regards,

Xu

am thinking of doing this is copying a message to a temporary file
(via FCC) and then getting its message ID with a script. Is this
possible?

I would like to do this instead of setting record because I want to
use record for other things (e.g. setting it to a non-local folder).

Kind regards,

Xu
