Hm I wrote this little script: http://people.eisenbits.com/~stf/software/conv2047/ It is easy to use it in .procmailrc along with formail (you decode encoded subject (or any other field) and *then* you search for your patterns of interest). Then you can, for instance, modify the subject and encode it back. It works for me, at least. -- http://people.eisenbits.com/~stf/ OpenPGP: DFD9 0146 3794 9CF6 17EA D63F DBF5 8AA8 3B31 FE8A Like hardship, risk & challenge? --- Follow Jesus!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
