Is a macro > the correct way to do that? I have one which reports missed spam messages. It looks roughly like this (edited a bit to remove unrelated parts and wrap it -- hopefully I haven't broken the syntax in the process): macro index ,s "spam-rep...@example.com\ Missed spam\ " "Report missed spam" macro pager ,s ",s" "Report missed spam" You would want to replace `Missed spam` with something like `reporting false positive -- []`. You would not need `` for non-spam. ;) I'm sure others here have better macros. But this works for me. Hopefully this gives you some ideas for how to create something which works for you. -- Todd signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You can set $editor to a script (it will be invoked with as its only parameter the path to a file containing the message, including headers if $edit_headers is set) which makes the adjustments you want and then launches your normal editor or exits with an appropriate status. formail is useful for reading and modifying mail headers from within a script. On another note, please don't use someone's real domain name (like foo.com) as an example. It's better to use one of the domains reserved for the purpose; for example, example.com or isp.example.
