I need a way to automatically re-sent stored e-mail messages according to some criteria and like to ask for advice or suggestions for an already existing solution before I start reinventing the wheel. :-) The messages in question are stored in MH format. This is a tree where a mailbox equals a directory, and the individual files in that directory equal the messages. They are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., and so on. Each message is in Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable or Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit or maybe even Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit text format. Some of them might contain an attachment, which is "included" in the file with something like --Multipart=... Content-Type: ...; name="..." Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="..." Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 --Multipart=...--- Some messages are "fully multipart". So when iterating on ~/Mail/sent/1,2,3,4,5,... I get all the messages. Each third line, "To:", is the criteria to look at. If it matches a given recipient, the mail should be sent again. This can easily be done by the system's mailer which is properly configured (and uses ISP's MX), so | mail -s "maybe new subject" is possible. The message should already be properly pre-composed. What is the easiest way to do this without reinventing the wheel, or should I? :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
