Re: How can I get mail from /var/mail/jatmin to my spoolfile

[Josef Atmin]

Thanks! Here is the improved macro:

   macro index,pager G "\
<enter-command>unset wait_key<enter>\
<shell-escape>\
if [[ -s /var/mail/$USER ]]; then\
  mutt_dotlock -p /var/mail/$USER;\
  cat /var/mail/$USER >> ~/INBOX;\
  echo -n > /var/mail/$USER;\
  mutt_dotlock -p -u /var/mail/$USER;\
fi<return>\
<enter-command>set wait_key<enter>\
<fetch-mail>" "fetch local and pop3 mail"

Josef.
