- V0.2 Changes
- ============
-
- The variable $friendly now is set to the friendly part of the sender's
- email address. For example, if the sender's address is:
-
- strike@convex.com (Martin Streicher)
-
- $friendly would be set to "Martin Streicher"
-
-
-
- Keys for the %headers array are all lowercase. That is to say that if a mail
- message has headers:
-
- To: strike
- Cc: george
- From: zombie@foo.edu
- Subject: News
-
- the keys for %header will be "to", "from", "cc", "subject". $header{"subject"}
- would be set to "News"
-
-
-
- The "Received" headers in a mail message are now saved in an array called
- @received. The first element in the array is the first received header;
- that last element in the array would show the message being delivered to
- your machine. See the Suggestions file for how to use this feature.
-
-
-
- If someone from your local machine sends you email, $organization
- is set to "local". If the site name (e.g.,"convex" for "pixel.convex.com")
- cannot be determined, $organization is set to "unknown". Also, $organization
- is much more reliable (I have not found a case yet where $organization
- was not set correctly.)
-
-
-
- $organization is always in lower-case.
-
-
-
- audit.pl was broken up to make the code more reusable. The utilities
- refileto and refilefrom use some of the routines in audit.pl and mh.pl.
-
-
-
- Fixed a bug that sometimes added NULL to an empty message body.
-
-
-
- mh.pl has new routines to recursively create a directory path, parse your
- MH profile and parse MH-like command line options.
-
-
- New utilities
- =============
- There are two new utilities: refileto and rfolder and adjunts refilefrom
- and rfolders.
-
- refileto is used to refile messages into log folders according to who
- you sent the messages to. refilefrom refiles messages you have received
- according to who sent you the message.
-
- By default all messages are logged into the folder +log. You can change this
- by adding the line:
-
- Logdir: log
-
- to your .mh_profile. Also by default, the current folder is processed.
- You can change that also. Here are the command line options for
- refileto/refilefrom:
-
- refileto -help
- syntax: refileto [msgs] [switches]
- switches are:
- -debug
- -draft
- -file file
- -help
- -link
- -log +folder
- -nolink
- -nopreserve
- -preserve
- -rmmproc program
- -src +folder
- -verbose
-
-
- A sample usage might be:
-
- refileto -src +outbox -verbose
-
- -verbose shows you what is being files and where. Use -debug to check what will
- happen without actually refiling the mail messages.
-
- Here is a sample output of the command
- "refileto -src +log/outgoing -verbose all":
-
- refile -file /gmaster/home/strike/Mail/log/outgoing/5 +log/local/holt
- refile -file /gmaster/home/strike/Mail/log/outgoing/7 +log/convex/sowton
- refile -file /gmaster/home/strike/Mail/log/outgoing/9 +log/convex/lutz
- +log/convex/sowton
-
-
-
- The rfolder utility is like folders: it can recursively descend
- a list of folders. However, you can use rfolder to run another MH command
- in every folder it finds. For example, let say you want to sort
- all of the subfolders in your +log folder.
-
- You could say:
-
- rfolder +log -all -recurse -verbose -exec sortm -textfield subject
-
- -debug will show you what might happen without actually executing the
- command.
-
- By the way, -clean can be used to remove empty folders (empty folders
- must be completely empty, without any .# or # files from rmm's, etc.)
-
-
- You can even use refileto/refilefrom and rfolder(s) to build a new
- log directory from all your existing mail. Ala:
-
- rfolder -all -recurse -verbose -exec refilefrom -log +log -src
-
-
- rfolders implis the -all -recurse flags
-
