And a few other bits... Such as pointing it to .Xauthority. See my .procmailrc here for the rest: http://perkypants.org/dotfiles/ [ As if I had to explain that bit! ;) ] > Now Jeff, how would I get it to also put up the From address? *grmph* Always doing people's dirty work for them... *grmph* I was doing this in my head early this morning anyway... ;) You use a procmail block to grab the two matches, then you echo them out. Example: :0 c * ^Subject:.*\/.* { SUBJECT=$MATCH :0 ih * ^From: .*\/[^<]* | echo "$SUBJECT from $MATCH" | $ONSCREEN } Note: I would have done echo -e "$SUBJECT\n$MATCH", but this requires support from osd_cat in the way of "\n" processing. It doesn't currently do it, so you know what to do. ;) - Jeff -- "It's actually my new bandwidth conservation technique: compresion of al double leters." - Telsa Gwynne -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
