Problem with Filter Message-ID: Date: 10 Nov 90 04:25:28 GMT Sender: news@Encore.COM Reply-To: epeterson@encore.com (Eric Peterson) Organization: Encore Computer Corporation, Diagnostic Development Lines: 35 News-Software: NN 6.4.12 I've been playing with filter a bit lately, and I can't seem to get it to work right. What I want to do is save all messages that come to me through a mailing list called "gem_team" to a folder called "/usrs/sqa/epeterso/Mail/gemini" as well as drop them into my mailbox. My ~/.elm/filter-rules file looks like this: ## Save all gem_team mail if (to "gem_team") then savecopy "/usrs/sqa/epeterso/Mail/gemini" My home and Mail directories are both 755, and file gemini is 644. Here's part of the header from a message I received on that list: From encore!maxzilla!dgardine Fri Nov 9 19:07:09 1990 Date: Fri, 9 Nov 90 19:04:22 EST From: Derek Gardiner Message-Id: <9011100004.AA26771@maxzilla.> To: gem_team Subject: Gemini minutes 11/9 Status: OR As far as I can tell, this should do what I want it to do. But it doesn't. Not even when I run this message through filter on the command line. Not even different variations on the contents of the if clause ('to contains "gem_team"' 'to "gem_team"', and 'to = "gem_team"' all have not worked). Any clue as to what's going on? I'm running Elm 2.3.8. Eric -- Eric Peterson <> epeterson@encore.com <> uunet!encore!epeterson Encore Computer Corp. * Ft.
