To quote the procmailrc(5) manpage's BUGS section:

BUGS
                               ...  When the -a or -m options are
     used, "$ <at> " will expand to respectively the  specified  argu-
     ment (list); but only when passed as in the argument list to
     a program.

 Thanks for your help so-far Philip,

filtering nearly-identical headers in one rule

(please reply directly to me [honza <at> ied.com] -- I'm not subscribed to the list)

 Hi.

 What would be an [elegant] way to process almost-same msgs in one rule :

 e.g. all the relevant msgs have :

X-loop:  mailing-list-XXXXX.*XX-digest <at> an.insti.tution.edu

   And I would like to use lockfile and destination mailbox :
 digest-XXXXX.*XX.lock
   and
 digest-XXXXX.*XX

  where the XXXXX.*XX may be different in different msgs.

I'm using :
procmail v3.10 1994/10/31

         Thanx,   
                  Jan

(BTW, does this list have a [searchable] archive somewhere ?)

For some reason, I tried inserting the above (not as a variable, but
straight as a condition, instead of what I had earlier, and it didn't
work. But as mentioned below, I don't need really really good matching as
the other conditions will probably catch it.

I meant "simple" in that it isn't meant to act like a listserv -- it merely 
remails to a group.

How can I set the DELIVERED flag any time I place the incoming message into a 
folder?  The procmail man page seems to indicate that this is what controls 
whether the message bounces or just falls into the bit bucket, but I've never 
experienced bouncing without it.

The other thing though -- ultimatley, at the END of the script, I want it to 
save a copy to an archive file, as well as forward -- so long as the message 
hasn't been saved to another folder.  You gave me the script info for that:

	Not likely, if you are using procmail to split mail into
separate folders. (;  Not all messages are going to go into $MAIL, so
'finger your_username' isn't going to pick up new mail.

Re: getting rid of the body of an e-mail

Das Devaraj asked,

| A part of my .procmailrc file is shown below.  I am trying to generate an
| acknowledgement message when somebody sends a message to user1 <at> foo.com
| (other ids in the same domain have different recipes). "HdrLine" is a file
| containing the from line and "AutoMsg" is a file containing the canned
| message which goes back to the sender. 
| 
| The problem is that the return message contains the complete text of the
| original message.  Shouldn't the "h" flag pipe only the headers?  What am
| I overlooking? 
| 
| :0 hc

As Philip Guenther explained, the `h' flag is meaningless there.

| * ^To:.*user1 <at> foo.com
| {
|    MAILDIR=$HOME/fileserver
|    :0 fhw 
|    | formail -rA "X-Loop: Processed_Mail"
|    :0 a
|    | cat ./HdrLine - ./AutoMsg >&1 | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
| }

Yes, the `h' flag makes procmail feed only the head, so on a filter recipe
procmail replaces only the head and restores the previous body.  Thus,
formail -r (if you don't also use formail's -k option, and Das didn't),
should drop the body, but procmail is putting it back because only the
head is filtered.

This can be done wholly within procmail if the "XXXXX.*XX" part matches
some definate regexp that doesn't extend into the "-digest..." part.

For example, if the "XXXXX.*XX" part can never contain a '-', then the
following would work:

:0:
* ^X-Loop: *mailing-list-\/[^-]+
digest-$MATCH

Alternatively, if you knew that it was always exactly 9 characters long,
then this would work:
