I don't want to have to take a university degree in mail programs. Also, I want a GUI program, not something I have to run as a terminal routine. It appears, from first looks, that procmail would require both. If I'm all wet, please advise. For those who came upon Unix way back when, that may be OK, but I'm a relative newbie, and I really don't wish to start "way back when" and catch up, somehow. It shouldn't be necessary in this modern day to do so. I don't write Perl. _ Years_ ago I wrote some Basic and some Pascal. That's about it. (And the damned Basic I wrote won't run on Linux!) I guess I'll just have to do it the hard way and move the files by hand. But I will take someone's advice to send a message to bugs.kde.org. --doug On Monday 09 August 2004 18:05, Randall R Schulz wrote:

[08-09-04 15:13]: I like KMail, and have had no problems with it. (I'm not doing complicated filters, etc.) And thank heavens it _doesn't_ look like a Microsoft routine! But I can't find a way to implement a feature that Eudora has: a way to automatically copy an attachment on an incoming message to a folder. It would be even cooler if I could specify the filename extension of the incoming attachment and only copy that file to a specified folder. i.e., if the incoming message was a .doc file, it would automatically copy it to the /home/doug/Documents folder.
procmail
man procmail man procmailex man procmailsc man procmailrc
Indeed! As I suspected, it's all been done already.
Here are a couple of resources from which one can find all sorts of procmail tutorials, code and recipies:
- http://rhols66.adsl.netsonic.fi/era/procmail/links.html - http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/info/proctips.html
Procmail is very ... fancy, and there's a commensurate amount of coverage on the Web.
