% Hmmm. So you send a mail to the pager company, and they strip

% the mail you sent contains the headers of the original message
% sent to your account, right?
Yep.
%
% So, your script should either parse out the headers and generate
% new ones (since you probably want to keep the From), which I
% agree isn't very smart, or... use the original mail's headers.
% Bounce... yes, like you do when you "bounce" using mutt.
I thought so :-)
%
% All you have to do is inject your mail so that the headers in it
% are treated as headers and not as body.
That's the idea (he says, still not getting it).
%
% You mentioned that you use qmail; simply use qmail-inject and
Oh. Now that's interesting. I guess I have to go and read up on this
qmail thing, since I tried qmail-inject and it happily sent of my
message exactly as desired :-)
Thanks!
% not sendmail. Don't forget the -f flag so that eventual bounces
% ("error" bounces) go to you and not to the unsuspecting guy who
% sent you a mail.
Hmmm... That makes sense, although now I want to trap the user
name... Maybe I'll use formail to not only insert an X-No-Loop header
as planned but also grab the From field or something... Or does From_
point back to where errors go and From: tell me the user name? Or
should I just put in a Reply-To: or Errors-To: or some other header?
Hrmmm... mutter mutter
Oh, yeah -- I should probably wrap up this letter :-)

% I think this should solve your problem, hope it does. HAND.
It solves that one and gives me a new one with which to play :-) You,
too.
