Hmmm, I don't understand your script at all! But that's only because I don't know Perl. :-( That's alright though, coz I've got something that works. His a little bash script that does what I want: #!/bin/sh cat /dev/stdin > tmp1 grep Date: tmp1 > tmp2 grep From: tmp1 >> tmp2 grep Subject: tmp1 >> tmp2 cat tmp2 | mail -s "Mail Notification" [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat tmp1 The only problem with it is if two messages are being processed at the same time. And to put in the correct mail address... Anybody know how I can create a unique temp file from bash? Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
