OK here's a simple version. In ~/.mutt-skx: # # .k = killfile messages with this subject. # macro index .k "<enter-command>unset wait_key\n|formail -zxSubject: >> $HOME/.procmail_killsubject\n<enter-command>set wait_key\n" macro pager .k "<enter-command>unset wait_key\n|formail -zxSubject: >> $HOME/.procmail_killsubject\n<enter-command>set wait_key\n" This binds ".k" to a command which extracts the subject of the current message to the file ~/.procmail_killsubject. Then in ~/.procmailrc I have this: # Look for the subject. SUBJECT=`formail -zxSubject:` :0: * ? test -s $HOME/.procmail_killsubject * ? fgrep -qx "$SUBJECT" $HOME/.procmail_killsubject killfile This means that all future messages with a subject contained in the file ~/.procmail_killsubject will be saved to the folder "killfile". Similar process can be used to kill by MSGID, sender, etc. Steve -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
