No, that won't work. If this approach worked, the pythonfilter wouldn't be going to all that trouble. The problem is that Courier has already read the message into memory before calling the filters and does not read it again after the filtering. So if you change the message file, the changes will not be reflected in the copy of the message that is already in memory. -- Bowie _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
