Re: question on batch email sending

I have a standard mailbox with around 40 messages. I want to be able
to just send them all to someone, the same person, not as an
attachment but as individual emails. I want to do something like;

cat /var/mail/frank | someprogram franksnewaddress@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So that Frank can just get it into his regular inbox. I realize that
I could just ask Frank to pop it off the server but then he would have
to setup for just one occasion. Is there a way to do what I want?

Take a look at formail, which comes as part of procmail. It lets you
iterate through messages in an mbox-formatted mailbox in various ways.

In fact, here's a thread about it:

Have fun!
