Piping to commandsPiping to commandsPosted May 29, 2008 12:24 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1)In reply to: The Grumpy Editor reviews Claws Mail by seanodes Parent article: The Grumpy Editor reviews Claws Mail I think I expressed my self badly, sorry. What I meant is that you cannot pipe mail to an arbitrary command specified at the time of the action. You can preconfigure as many actions as you like, but, when it comes to be time to run a command on a message, you have to pick one out of those you've set up ahead of time.

Piping to commands Posted May 29, 2008 16:22 UTC (Thu) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054) [Link] I think you could construct something like that by creating an action that pipes into a shell script that calls kdialog (or a similar tool). Maybe something like this: #!/bin/sh exec `kdialog --inputbox "Enter command to pipe into" ""`
Piping to commands Posted May 29, 2008 16:26 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Actually, Claws Mail has a way to accept a string which then gets piped into the canned command. So one could write a script which reads the string and interprets it as a command to be run with the file containing the email as input. Should work, I just need to mess with it some. But it should be easier...
Piping to commands Posted May 30, 2008 10:37 UTC (Fri) by Tet (subscriber, #5433) [Link] Since claws sits on top of an MH mail store, can you not just have a command that reads the message directly from the filesystem? It's a bit of a hack, I know, but it should at least work. (Happy MH user for nearly 20 years now -- I've been thinking about Claws, but so far, I haven't felt the need to make the switch)
