Hello, I wanto be able to exctract the Subject and To header information ffrom mail going to a specified user on my system. I then want to export those variables to another script that I wrote (as $SUBJECT and $TO). what should my .procmailrc for that file look like? I have :0 SUBJECT=`formail -xSubject:` TO='formail -xTo:` | /home/user/script in my current .procmailrc and it does not seem to be working. Any ideas? Thanks for reading my message.
