Is there any reason why I couldn't use slocal recursively. The situation is as follows: mail from certain external networks comes in here with a rather obnoxious envelope around it (don't ask). Fortunately it's fairly easy to recognize from the mail headers that a piece of mail has this envelope. I've been using slocal to automatically strip it off. However, all such stripped mail ends up in inbox, and I'd like to use slocal processing to file it in other folders. It appears that slocal can't process the output of a previous step (maybe I'm wrong), but I thought that I could always send the output to a new incarnation of slocal. Does this procedure contain any traps for the unwary? -- Victor S. Miller (victor@ibm.com) itinerant Number Theorist IBM, TJ Watson Research Center
