I sure do; you should see my directory of include files :-)


% procmail, or am i misunderstanding? you could simply filter
% all those messages into separate folder, and then go look at
% them once in a while to see if something of interest got
% through.

Well, yeah, but I'm already filtering these and other such messages into
a folder, and I want to keep the 10-line messages to note when nothing
came (an error).

% you could either pipe into 'wc -l', or write a script if you

% perhaps be more reliable)

I'm not sure how, either, but I bet that formail will count them and
so I could pump them thru formail to create a X-Lines: header (to avoid
confusion with any existing Lines: header) for starters.  I'll limit on
size, though, once I figure out how large the default message is.


% 
% anyway, just an idea

Thanks!
