Subject: [9fans] piping to upas/spam when reading IMAP boxes
Topicbox-Message-UUID: e2e1d62a-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025

Everything works fine if you read local mailboxes. I ran into trouble
when I tried to pipe a raw message from nedmail to upas/spam when I
was reading a remote IMAP box.

2: ||upas/spam
Can't cd /mail/fs/mbox/[0-9]*: '/mail/fs/mbox/[0-9]*' does not exist

(In acme mail occurs the same problem, btw)

upas/spam an upas/msgcat (which the former invokes) mount a single
message on /mail/fs, so I thougt it would be a conflict with the IMAP
box mounted on /mail/fs

I hacked /mail/lib/msgcat.rc and /mail/lib/spam.rc to mount the
message(s) on /tmp/tmpmail instead.

This solved the problem.

Of course, unspam.rc and isspam.rc have to be modified in the same
way. And of course, the mountpoint is not chosen well.

But except this; is this modification of general interest?
