Re: [PLUG] Automating actions from email

From: "Amul Shah"<amul@amulz.com>
At work I get daily emails which I need to act on. Is there a
mechanism in any email client (I use alpine and thunderbird) that can
recognize the email and invoke a shell script or another program?
Looks like Thunderbird "filters" can't call an external program. I
wonder if you can do that from Evolution?
The canonical way to do that used to be procmail, which had a pretty
obfuscated syntax. Lots of details in Google and I doubt it would run
on Windows, not that that matters to you.
Good luck,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
