- I'm currently saving my outgoing mail to one particular file.
- When I used to use mailx, I was able to have the name of the file
- change according to the date, effectively allowing me to archive
- my outgoing mail by month, like this:
-
- set record=+"`date +%y%h`"
-
- (which would save mail sent this month to a file called "92Nov").
-
- Does Elm allow backquote-expansion in .elm/elmrc?
- It doesn't seem to work with 2.vPL11; how about 2.4?
-
- Thanks,
- Andy
