Hello mutt experts,
>From the index, how can I filter a message through a shell/perl/etc.
script, so that the modified message actually *replaces* the original
in the mail folder?
This is sort of like <edit>, where a copy of the message is loaded
into the $editor, the orignal is marked for deletion, and the new
message is appended to the mail folder.
This seems like a feature that would be requested/used frequently, but
I can't find any mention of it in the mutt manual.
Note that <pipe-message> isn't what I'm looking for, since the output
of the pipe does not replace the original message.
The best that I've come up with so far is to change the $editor to the
filtering command, edit the file, and then reset the $editor to its
original value:
macro index F ':set editor="mailformat -m -t -s -c -q -i"<return>e:set
editor=vi<return>'
but this is obviously a hack and I'm betting there is a better
solution.
Thanks,
Steve
