So you are correct that the formail is needed, as the reader does not have a
date to show on displaying the message. It does use the date in the first
'From ' line for the list of messages, and that mislead me yesterday.
But I am having a problem of how to specify this:
CRONDARGS=-m "formail -a "Date: `date`" | /usr/bin/procmail -f cron"
The quoting is wrong. How do I get the quoting right for this arg list?
I would "cheat".
I would put formail -a "Date: `date`" | /usr/bin/procmail -f cron in a bash script called
"mailme" in /usr/local/bin and then set
CRONDARGS=-m /usr/local/bin/mailme
Worked fine here.... Don't forget, of course, to make mailme executable.
Works! Thanks!
I have one more item to work out. It seems that on my servers, I have a
timestamp in the email of when the cron job started, not ended. This is
interesting, as some of my cron jobs can take over an hour. I have to
look more into this before I can call success on this project.
