Subject: send message(s) through tool?

From: Matt Ackeret <[email-masked]>

Is there any way I can send messages through a specified tool?

Basically I want to pipe the message contents to an external tool.

Is it possible?  It doesn't seem to be, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

We can set up our bug system to send mail for the bugs we've indicated interest
in.  It'd be great if I could pipe messages to an external tool that figures
out the bug #s in the messages rather than manually copying and pasting.

esp if I could do it once to several messages at once..

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I mean.  Maybe my use of
the "send messages" was confusing..  But I did mention:
esp if I could do it once to several messages at once..

I want to select messages in my INBOX and pipe them through a command..
I'd want several ones to be done together, as one command.

(M)ain (S)etup (C)onfig

    [X]  enable-unix-pipe-cmd

Works only on UNIX Pine.

(M)ain (S)etup (C)onfig

    [X] enable-aggregate-command-set

Then, after you select the messages, (A)pply (|)Pipe

I've found that since I upgraded to Pine 4.58 (from 4.56?), I've not been
able to use this functionality.

I have the selections that Gopi has provided below, but when I try and
pipe ANY message, I ALWAYS get the following error:

	Can't exec cat
	Reason: No such file or directory

Any idea on why this might be?

Thanks in Advance,
Zeb

Hi Zeb!

> Any idea on why this might be?

Do you have put the hole path to cat to the pine setup. Try it, mostly it
works. I stumbled over a problem similar to this a few months ago.

Bye and hope that helps

Thanks for the suggestion Rico, but that didn't work either:

	Can't exec /bin/cat

:-(

Awesome, sorry, I guess I didn't look around to find this!

It seems to do just what I want!  (Except that then pine goes into a
'viewer' mode, but I can probably get the tool to be modified to NOT output
anything.. which hopefully would skip this viewer mode?  Basically, it
ends up sending a message to another program, and I don't necessarily
care about the output.)

Thanks!

Before you hit enter to send the message(s) to the program, (^Y) for
Free output, instead of capturing the output to view.
