[I haven't seen anything on this list for a few weeks, so I thought I oughta...]
I get a lot of mail from a computer where the mail system doesn't make it easy
to add a Subject to the message. That makes scan-ing a lot harder. So, I
wrote a Bourne shell script called "fixsubj" that lets you add (or change) the
Subject line. The syntax is like this:
fixsubj -s 'new subject line' [+folder] [msgs]
It reads each of the msgs (default is cur).
- If there's no subject, it adds the new one
- If there is a subject, it asks if you want to skip the message, use
the default (from -s), or invoke an editor like vi.
It works under 6.5 and should work under other MHs, too. It uses a SysV
Bourne shell; it should work under ksh, but BSD/V7 shells will need a couple
of little hacks. If you want a copy, send me mail.
