If you have MH, there is a mail filter command which, when put in your .forward file, will perform actions on incoming messages depending on their header info. The actions which you can perform are: pipe to a command executed by sh file into a UUCP file folder throw it away With a small patch I've made, it files the message into a UCB Mail folder. The best part about it is that you don't have to jump onto anyone's bandwagon. Use BSD Mail, GNU emacs mail, MH or whatever. If you have MH, it's described in the mhook(1) man page. If not . . . #ifdef INTERESTED_IN_MH MH itself is a complete package which supports MMDF (I&II), Sendmail, SMTP, and UUCP message transfer agents. From composing to sending mail, MH has a variety of independent programs for processing mail messages. It also provides support for POP (2&3), NNTP and Bulletin Boards. It even has its own X interface (xmh - available in MIT contrib source). You can get source from anonymous ftp at ics.uci.edu. A newsgroup/mailing- list is available for MH support (comp.mail.mh). #endif If you want more details, you (or anyone else) can mail me. ________________________________________________________________________ Eric W.
