re above, you could take the first part of this filter script and modify it to match and write out data for
the emails you want. You might want to switch it from using the tmail package to the mail package.
It would prob end up being around 10 lines long, not counting comments (read
in, parse, match, write out)
$ cat forwardmail.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'tmail'
require 'net/smtp'
# setup to from

tomail = 'john@someplace.com'
frommail = 'jane.d...@elsewhere.com'

#
sender = forwarded_mail.from
idx = sender[0].index('@')
sender[0].slice!(idx.to_i..sender[0].length)

senddate = forwarded_mail.date
# populate the new header information

forwarded_mail.to = tomail
forwarded_mail.from = frommail

forwarded_mail.subject = newsubject
forwarded_mail.date = Time.now

forwarded_mail.body = On #{senddate} #{sender} said \n\n + forwarded_mail.body

Thanks for your replies... Take a look at procmail, http://www.procmail.org/. It contains a program called formail to manipulate emails in mbox format. That's how evolution stores local mail. Also, you could define a filter. As action you could choose to call a program or pipe the mail through a program. -- thomas ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
