[comp.mail.misc] Mail filing system...

berlin@bu-cs.BU.EDU (David K. Fickes) (03/16/88)

I handle several hundred messages a month and would like to have
a mailer log my messages to files by the name of the recipient
for instance:

	I file incoming messages based on the userid of the person
	sending the message to me.. for instance all of the "significant"
	mail I've sent to foo@bar is store in a file "foo" ...

	If I send a message to foo@bar  I'd like it to be logged in
	the file "foo" rather than the current "log". \

This way the file "foo" will contain an entire correspondence selection
between me and foo....

Any ideas?

thanks, david

David Fickes asks for a mailer that saves outbound mail intelligently:

>	I file incoming messages based on the [senders] userid ...
>
>	If I send a message to [that user] I'd like it to be logged in
>	[my folder for them] rather than the current "log".

Well, by no suprising coincidence, the Elm Mail System has supported just
such a feature for quite a while now.  Check it out.

(See the comp.sources.unix archives, or wait until 2.0 is released (?))
