Okay, I understand that.
But what i don't understand is how do I access the mail messages to run this on them?
e-mail is sent to me@localhost.localdomain and sendmail is running.
typing mail at the command prompt (or whatever the Linux version is called) says I have n messages. (where n is a number)
Also I read someware else that you can create a `.forward` file in the root of your home directory to automate this. (the desired operation as there will be a dedicated e-mail server for this - currently being tested on a standalone laptop)
"|IFS=' '&&exec perl /home/kev/Documents/webtest/mail/strip.pl||exit 7
+5"
(modified from another one)
This just loses the mail (Evolution or mail can't find it).
I'm guessing I would probably need to change this to something along the lines of
"|IFS=' '&&exec perl /home/kev/Documents/webtest/mail/strip.pl < file.
+msg ||exit 75"
Is this along the right lines?, and what would i need to put in the place of "file.msg"?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
