Are you fed up of having six or seven useless lines of text and carriage
returns at the end of each mail from debian-user and the other lists?
Well, fear no more! For a limited period only, you too can have those
lines stripped off -- completely free!
Add the following to your .procmailrc:
--- Begin ---
# Remove last X .sig-lines from debian-* mailing lists
:0
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian
{
# Debian-user has 6 useless lines
:0 fbw
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-user
| sed -n -e ':a;N;2,5ba;:o;N;P;s/[^\n]*\n//;$!bo'
# These have 7 useless lines
:0 fbw
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*(debian-changes\
|debian-security-announce\
|debian-announce\
|debian-mentors)
| sed -n -e ':a;N;2,6ba;:o;N;P;s/[^\n]*\n//;$!bo'
}
}
--- End ---
# sed -n -e ':a;N;2,5ba;:o;N;P;s/[^\n]*\n//;$!bo'
# /^\
# NOTE: On above line, the digit shown is:
# (number of lines you want removed)-1
Since I only read a couple of the debian lists, I haven't looked at the
others. It's easy enough to add 'em, though.
I also strip useless headers, but that's easy enough to figure out.
I've got a strange feeling I've messed something up somewhere, so try
not to shout at me if I have, okay?
Adios,
Kris
