Perhaps I'm looking for a feature that doesn't exist, and I'm almost certainly missing something simple, but here's the background:
I currently use a script to connect to my IMAP server, and get a list of all mail folders. I then parse that list to get the mailing list folders (all named list.mailing-list-name), and use that to generate the necessary rc commands (subscribe and from). I would like to remove that extra connection to the server, and just use rc commands plus a little shell scripting to do the same thing. I've searched TFM, and the mailing list via marc.info, but haven't been able to find anything useful. I believe I should be able to do what I need to do if I can figure out how to pass the value of ^ to the shell. So, is there a way to pass the value of ^ to the shell? If so, would someone mind showing me an example? If there is something about this in the manual/man pages/wiki/mailing list, a simple scoff and pointer will be sufficient. ;] Oh, and if there's an easier/better way to do this, please let me know. Regards, -- dave [ please don't CC me ]
