I currently have set up fetchmail to transfer mail to procmail and a .procmailrc file with the following content:
FILE_DIR=$HOME/incoming
:0
*
| munpack -q -C "$FILE_DIR"
If I receive emails with attachments, munpack will create a file123.ext and a file123.desc, the latter containing the text of the email. However, the headers are lost. Is there a way to save the headers of the email to a file123.headers file or something like that or, better yet, make munpack save the whole message - including headers - in the .desc file?
You can easily save the headers separately, but of course you can't predict which file name
munpack
will assign to the extracted message.This simply writes the headers to
headers
. Perhaps you could add some logic around this to create a new directory for each incoming message, or something like that.(Notice also how you simply omit the condition line if you want to deliver unconditionally.)
Maybe a better solution would be to switch to a tool which extracts the headers as well. I vaguely recall
ripmime
would be somewhat more flexible thanmunpack
.
