% Hi,

Hi!


% I am subscribed to this list and I am receiving it in digest-format. In
% my.procmailrc I have this to split the digest-format:
% 
%       :0:
%       * ^Subject:.*mutt-users-digest
%       | formail +1 -ds >>mutt

A good start.


% 
% Looking at the mails shows me that only three headers are written in the
% splitted mails:
% 
% Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 15:51:56 -0400
% From: dd <dom_over@xxxxxxx>
% Subject: How to not 

Yep.


% 
% What is missing e.g. to make a list-reply is:
% 
% From: owner-mutt-users-digest@xxxxxxxx (mutt-users-digest)
% To: mutt-users-digest@xxxxxxxx
% Subject: mutt-users-digest V1 #1631

Well, you can't really use that Subject: any more since you're looking at
the individual message (or a likeness thereof).  Similarly, the From: is
that of the message, too, so all of this is good.  You are right that
lots of headers are missing, though.  That's the cost of a digest.


% 
% Why are the mails in the digest-format are cut-off or is there a way to add
% the missing headers (only given at the beginning of the digest-foramt).

That's the way a digest works; it does not try to send you an entire mbox
in one shipping but instead just a summary of the traffic.  I'm sure you
could do some scripting to rebuild headers, but I personally would find
it a lot easier to just have procmail properly sort the messages into the
right folder in the first place.


% 
% Thanx
