Per,
Yep -- that sounds very similar to what I had in mind. And for much the same
reasons, beyond pskMail use. I travel from client location to client
location and can usually get access to email but often can't get Web access.
As I thought through a solution to that problem it occurred to me that
pskMail users are in a similar situation with regards to getting info via
email primarily.
Is your perl script available somewhere?
I'll go back to playing with formail and sed to rip the stupidity out of
mail from YahooGroups so it arrives washed and cleaned. :-)
