- Is it possible to persuade forwardc to save somewhere other than the system
- mailbox?
-
- The filter command looks like this:
-
- if (from contains "ug") then
- forwardc tsunb!stephcl
-
- and was this before forwardc was available:
-
- if (from contains "ug") then
- forward tsunb!stephcl,tsunb!johny
-
- In the first case, my copy goes to /usr/spool/mail/johny instead of =main,
- which is where all mail is sent by default. In the second case, I get my
- copy in =main, but the headers are changed, so it appears to be From me,
- with a changed Subject.
-
- Is there a way of specifying a mailbox for forwardc to save in, or (better
- yet) are there plans to implement a "bounce" action, working like the
- bounce command in elm does? [Sanity permitting, I may have a go at this
- myself, if I get the time]
