Pipes is something I need to understand better than I do. I use simple pipes (like | less & | grep <item>) w/o totally understanding how they work. Guess I'll ry this example & see what happens. :-)
A pipe just connects stdout of the left process to stdin on the right process, so the right process essentially reads what the left process writes.
(While we're on the subj... I was hopig to also get the process using Mailder rather than mbox, and putting msgs in KMail's inbox, etc. Had it working, once, then it busted & I don't know what I did. Guess that's another post; right?)
To use Maildir instead of mbox in procmail, just put a slash on the end of the target mailbox name. Procmail will magically use maildir, then. Incidentally, I use: # Suse-linux-english list :0 * ^[sS]ubject:.*\[SLE\] .lists.suse/ I probably oughtta filter on the header, but this way I get any personal responses stuck into the list folder, too. It keeps my inbox cleaner, and makes context easier to follow. :) --Danny
