Thanks Jeremy Task is to create a serialised list of Subject lines for mails posted to lists.
Why? So that procmail can filter any incoming list mail by using `egrep -f' on this serialised Subject list and these (presumed) replies to my posting may then be dropped in my main inbox. I only want to extract the Subject lines mails to lists, so I will have send-hook rules for mail to these known lists. I would need to define this macro only for mails to these lists (and then define "y" back to send-message). (The script to which the headers are piped will also schedule an at job to strip the Subject line from the file in n days). I do something like this with postfix alwaysbcc and procmail, but would prefer something more specific and efficient. Best place to do it is at the time of send-message when the Subject line is definitive. -- Eric Smith Jeremy Kitchen wrote on Thu-08-Nov 12 2:53AM > On Thu, Nov 08, 2012 at 12:37:27AM +0100, Eric Smith wrote: > > When piping a message from the compose menu, I receive only the > > body of the mail and not its headers. > > > > I want to capture the headers before sending the mail and am > > using this macro. > > > > macro compose ,y > > "<pipe-entry>/home/eric/bin/get_subject<enter><send-message>" > > > > The headers are not being passed to the script get_subject. > > What would be the solution? > > I really want to say that this is because you're only piping the > attachment you currently have highlighted.
