Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could help me set up TheBat to run a batch
file as a filter action under Windows XP.

I'm able to successfully run a perl/Tk program on my CNN messages to
pop up alert windows when there's breaking news and now I'm trying to
set up a small batch file to run spamassassin on all incoming mail.

I've set this up as my filter action to "wait for completion". My
external program is (or at least should be) modifying the file passed
to it as %1.

However, the message that is pulled into TheBat is the original,
unedited message. I'm pretty certain that the temp file is being
changed. I'm making a copy of the temporary file before I exit and
when I open ny copy the contents are what I'd expect. But the message
that is pulled into TheBat isn't.

Is TheBat supposed to pay attention to the changed contents of the
temporary file? Is it looking for any specific exit code from the
external program maybe?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
