The messages are essentially boilerplate containing a single action line that I need to collect and feed to a shell script. I've tried Washing->Unix pipe and Output->pipe through a filter, but I can't seem to get either to do what I want. Has anybody done this? Could I get a look at your code? Ideally I would like to use nnml-split or -split-fancy to automate the process. Any suggestions would be welcome. -- Bud Rogers http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html formerly
