Woody Kellum recently posted a collection of neat RN macros submitted
from various sources, including one from Larry Williamson and Mark Brader
to display a nice columnar article list for the '=' command. It seemed
to come out a little ragged on my system, though, and it didn't handle
the common address form
Joe Schmoe <jschmoe@valdez.EXXON.COM>
which is seen in many headers these days. So I rewrote it and have
been quite happy with the results. Here it is -- add to your RNINIT
string or file (I prefer a file).
#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive, meaning:
# 1. Remove everything above the #! /bin/sh line.
# 2. Save the resulting text in a file.
# 3. Execute the file with /bin/sh (not csh) to create:
# subjline.rni
# This archive created: Mon Sep 11 13:46:55 1989
export PATH; PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
if test -f 'subjline.rni'
then
echo shar: "will not over-write existing file 'subjline.rni'"
else
sed 's/^X//' << \SHAR_EOF > 'subjline.rni'
X-ESUBJLINE="%(%[subject] x=\
X\\(........................................\\)?%1)\
X %(%[lines]=^$? :%(\(%[lines]\) =\\(.....\\)?%1))\
X %(%(%f=.* \(\\(.*\\)\)\\|\\(.*\\) <.*>?%0:%f)=\
X\\(..........................\\)?%0:%(%f=.* \(\\(.*\\)\)\\|\\(.*\\) <.*>?%0:%f))"
SHAR_EOF
fi
exit 0
# End of shell archive
