References: <3CF680C0.563279A1@mitre.org> <20020530195728.GB1444@tishler.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2002-05/txt/msg01896.txt.bz2 Adding "-f-" or even "-f foobar" to the command line does not make it work. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to work with -m. I have reluctantly moved my .procmailrc file to /home/Administrator and removed the -m from the command line. This makes does yield the desired functionality, but not the right file structure. The problem boils down to how procmail rebuilds the environment before executing. I've set HOME to be one thing, but procmail makes it default to another. The -m was my work around and allowed me to keep all my important files in my home directory. Home is part of "My Documents" and thus requires no special consideration for backup (especially when I must, unfortunately, rely on corporate computer service for repairs/upgrades). I'm happy enough with this fix, but would much prefer a better solution. Something like having /home/Administrator/.procmailrc simply say "use /Docume~1/jhouse/MyDocu~1/UnixHome/.procmailrc" would be better since it guarantees that it won't get deleted after it grows in complexity. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
