5/3     Procmail question.  For messages over, say 1 Meg, I want to
        add '[OVERSIZED]' to the subject, forward the message to another
        acct, and send myself a message at csua notifying me of the
        oversized message.  I have not been able to do this successfully.
        It should be something like this:

           :0
           * > 1000000
           {
           :0fw
           | sed 's/^\(Subject:\)\(.*\)$/\1 \[OVERSIZED\]\2/'
           :0
           !otheraccount@gmail.com
           }

        and then somehow I need to email myself the notification.
        Also, this wil only work if the message has a Subject field.
        How can I do this for the more general case?
        \_ Changing subject is quickly done using formail.

           From there you should be able to figure out the rest.
          \_ Didn't work.  Put a bunch of error messages in my log file,
             and got rid of the subject.  -op
             got rid of the subject, and sent 2 copies of the message to
             the other account.  -op

4/17    How do I get procmail to delete emails with things like
        ^Viiiaaaagggrrra in the message body.  ^V then i+ then a+ ...
        \- a better rule would be to check for the language type, and
           if it's undeterminable or has too many misspellings then
           it's most likely spam email. ps i'm gay ok thx.

DE Stig Brautaset suggested to Pun Kuan Tou, | Maybe this will do, although I expect the regulars here to come up with | a one-liner that will do the whole thing more efficiently: | | :0 i | tmp=|formail -Xc"Subject:" | :0 af | |formail -I"$tmp" That will work if you change -Xc to -cX. It would also be good to use h' and not to use i' on the first recipe and to add h' alongside a' and f' on the second.

Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want. Use Google search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received. Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.
