I'm not sure what you mean.  The only messages "generated" by filter are the
notes in .elm/filterlog and, if one uses the -o option, those in the errors
file.  The latter have no subject lines, and I don't understand why one would
want the former to have subject lines different from those of the letters
being logged.

If you meant that you want to change the subject line of a letter being
processed by filter, then, as with #1, the easiest way is to have filter
execute something that changes the subject line and then puts the letter
wherever you want it, or, if you can be sure to avoid loops, feeds it back
to filter to be tested in its new condition.

trn alleges that the news server rejected this the first time, but it's
been wrong in the past.  Apologies if this is a duplicate.

Is there any key which functions everywhere as an 'abort' key, sort of
like F1 in Word Perfect, or ^G in Emacs (I'm actually a vi person,
honest! :-) )?

For example, I've recently taken to starting up Elm automatically in an
xterm whenever I run Xwindows.  I often however hit 'Q' when I'm done
without thinking and random experimentation and a brief look at the
user's guide turned up no possible way for me to back out of quitting
after hitting 'Q' so now I have to go run elm in an xterm again.  OK,
small thing, but it can get annoying.

Of course, in Berkeley mail once you select q there's no way to back out
either, but the difference is that input is line buffered in Berkeley
mail so you have to hit enter.  I can hit q, then say "Oh wait, I'm not
done yet" and delete the q.  But in Elm of course it reads the keystroke
immediately.

Something like this would also be useful if I hit 'r' instead of 'g' and
want to change it.  Currently it seems the fastest way to abort a letter
is to erase the 'subject' field, wait for it to ask "No subject, do you
want to continue?" and then hit 'n', but this is really ugly, IMO.

Any reason ESC or ^C couldn't be a universal abort character?  Or at
least, be an abort character in some circumstances.

  I guessed that's why you suppressed output.  Then, how about clearing
screen before and after print and redrawing it after print?  
I'm not sure this is better alternative. Actually, I received mail 
with prescription to modify source a little to clear and redraw screen 
after print.  If it turns out to be useful after your consideration,
I would like you to bring this change into future version.

I maintain shell accounts on several of my net-neighbor sites but only want
to read mail on my own system (since it is much easier to logon from the
local console).  I put a .forward file in my directory on the neighboring
system that has a one line mail address for my home system.  Since they're

Edwin,

While I agree with what you are saying I would suggest that a *lot* of 
people are attempting to use the v2.4dev version(s) to see if it can fix
the several bugs/shortcomings in 2.3PL11 (hmmmm, x.400 address handling
immediately comes to mind).

I have been *eternally* grateful for the elm development team for giving
us such a fine mail front end, but hey, the delivery date for 2.4 has 
slipped by well over a year and it continues to go backwards.

I can't wait. Our site will be moving to Pine (the "son of elm" ?? :-)
real_soon_now. The real clincher is the support of MIME/IMAP which is
a big win,

We've got the same problem. Are you running AIX 3.2? In AIX 3.1 the files
in /var/spool/mail are rw for owner only and GID of the owner. This
changed in 3.2 (rw for owner and group, GID mail). If this is the reason,
we've got a real problem because our mail directory is NFS-mounted on
3.1 and 3.2 machines.

Has anybody fixed this?

Alas no, there is nothing in the email other than this line to identify that
it came from the mailing list echoer.  I think I'll ask if they could add
an X-xxxxxx header with the mailing list name to the email that gets echoed
by the mailing list. Then all I need is filter support to check for
arbritrary X-xxx headers :-)

Hmm... I'll probably go hack something up while I await the next version
of ELM.

Does anyone have any opinions as to the best alternatives for filter,
ininitally in a sendmail/smtp environment? If filter does die, I (as
system's admin) will get requests for something else.

If there are good alternatives, then perhaps filter should be helped
to die, by stating explicitly that it will not live after 2.4...

2.3 does not support SIGWINCH, but 2.4 does.  I'd just wait
until 2.4 comes out, if you've lived this long without it.

Maybe Brendan wants a "cc" test that overlooks the "To:" header and checks
only for carboning?

"to" tests in .elm/filter-rules already honor "Cc:"; they check both "To:"
and "Cc:" for the presence in either (or absence from both) of the string. 

The only problem I've had is mail from one particular type of software, whose
author insisted on straining RFC 822's rule (which I've not read but which
he claimed exonerated him) that header names are case-insensitive.  It uses
"CC:" instead of "Cc:" and a "to" rule in .elm/filter-rules misses it. 
Likewise it uses "Reply-to:" instead of "Reply-To:" and if an Elm user [even
one who doesn't use filter] tries to answer such a letter, Elm ignores
"Reply-to:" and picks up the "From:" address, which is precisely how the
sender wants replies not to be addressed.

I've solved the CC: problem with a bit of circular logic: if my own name or
the recognized name of a mailing list isn't on To: or Cc:, I test for "CC:"
or "Apparently-[Tt]o:".  If I find either, I adjust them to "Cc:" and "To:"
and refilter the letter; if I find neither, I file it in a folder for blind
carbons.

If the letter truly is a blind carbon to me, and it has an Apparently-To: or
a CC:, it can hit that routine twice, but no letter will go through it more
than twice.

We have a tool written which runs on CMS and creates a file which *looks*

but fails with mush and ucbmail (just appears as one HUGE mail item).

I'm therefore thinking of processing the file on Un*x and wondered if

I just started tinkering with filter and have a couple of
questions:

1) given the rule structure:

	if <condition> then <action>

is there any way of specifying multiple actions for a single
set of conditions? For example:

	if <condition> then <action1> <action2> . . .

2) is there any way of changing the subject line of the messages
generated by filter?

I guess I could have a poke at the code . . . but only after a couple
of weeks worth of holidays.

Thanks.

Mike.

2.3 does not support quoted strings in addresses.
Again, there is an unofficial patch floating around that
handles this until 2.4 is released with its quoted string
support.

If you just want an editor that does spell checking, Pico might be what
you're looking for.  One thing I like about it is that it doesn't spell
check the quoted text of a message you're replying to, i.e., if you send
me a badly misspelled letter and I include the text of it in my reply, it
checks my spelling, but leaves yours alone.
