I use procmail and have duplicates filtered out, so CC's to me never annoy me anyway... But I'd like a system which tracks messages I send out and puts replies in my mail spool file. I figure it can be done based on the Subject or In-Reply-To lines, the former being prone to miss subject changes initiated by responders, and the latter being most complex (would surely require a database) because of the need to catch replies to replies. Tracking by subject would also require that something (or yours truly) maintain a list of subjects of outgoing list mail. I use Mutt on the same box with sendmail, so I could in theory concoct a means of automatically collecting subjects as messages went out; but this sounds like about as much fun as a tax audit. :-) So before I consider embarking on such a project, I thought I'd ask if anyone has already done so. Of course, if ever I do write such a rule set, I'd be willing to share it. And of course, direct-to-me CC's are most welcome... almost forgot to say it again! :-) -- Doug Lee dgl@visi.com http://www.visi.com/~dgl Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com "It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper." --Rod Serling To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
