It is not the attachment I want to filter and F is filter-entry for the
attachment. I want to alter the message itself. In fact I do not have
and think I can not have an attachment for this application.
Let me explain what I am trying to do. Perhaps I should have made this
clear earlier. I am trying to automate sending messages anonymously to
type I remailers. Here the headers point the mail to the remailer. The
message contains other headers such as:-
::
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I can handle this OK with hooks etc. You can send this to the remailer
in clear and all is well. However many remailers want the message to be
encrypted and armored. We want a message looking like:-
::
Encrypted: PGP
PGP encrypted/armored block
I can pipe the message into a script that creates this. I need to put it
back in the message file. By "in situ" I meant I could not do it like an
atomatic edit.
So, I guess I do need a filter, but does one exist?
Cheers, Brian.
