(Auto-)extracting forwarded mail
I have a mail address at work which is bound to a Windws/Outlook
server that I can't access directly from my own machine, only through
webmail.
I have set up an auto-forwarding filter at the server, so I get all
the mail to my regular box, but all the mails look as if they are from
me.
Is there a way to automatically remove the outer message and only see
the original message when it arrives in my inbox, e.g. through
procmail or something?
What about encodings, headers, etc - are there things to be aware of
there? If I just remove everything up to where the original message
begins, it appears in the index with a date in feb 1970 and with the =
line dividers in place. (Se below for full message, with addresses
masked).
what I would like to see is what the message looks like in the pager:
