Moin,
I use /mail/lib/rewrite to redirect some mails to
a separate file. But watching this file with faces
didn't work. I run faces with -i -m
/mail/box/user/special.
Isn't it possible or what do I missing?
Many thanks
Matthias

i do this all the time, but use the plumber rather than a separate file.
that is, if faces is receiving plumbing messages and upas/fs
is always watching all relevant mailboxes (which may mean
multiple upas/fs instances), it just works.

% plumber; upas/fs -f /some/other/file; faces -i
same trick (starting a new plumber) works when you want to keep
different acme sessions for different things -- i have a second acme
just for reading mail which i keep deep in the background.
right-clicking on the face of a new email brings it on top.

Ok, after that I can see the mails in the file but if I
right-clocking on one of them it shows me a mail
from the main mailbox with the same message number.

Just for the archive:
Turns out nedmail opens /mail/box/user/mbox directly and doesn't go through
/mail/fs/mbox/ (the one upas/fs serves).
The correct solution in this case is to bind the new mailbox over
/mail/box/user/mbox.

Is upas/fs watching as well? Faces reacts to plumb messages. Only in
its seemail (faces -h) does it show a box directly.
I watch several mailboxes like this in my profile:
upas/fs -n
echo 'open /imap/imap4.blueyonder.co.uk/myboxnumber rtr' >/mail/fs/ctl
echo 'open /imap/imap4.blueyonder.co.uk/myboxnumber_2 p9' >/mail/fs/ctl
and then have this in my riostart:
window -r 100 0 500 120 faces -m /mail/fs/rtr
window -r 500 0 900 120 faces -m /mail/fs/p9
