Hello,
What would be best way by using the mailutils to
get only the email address from the From: header
by using pipe and not a file?
I think that either frm or from shall have the
option to parse the standard input instead of
default folder, so to be able to see From: email
address from a pipe.
Then I can use Mutt when reading emails with more
professional solution than I have it now with my
own parsing.
Parsing From: email address on pipe is then
enabling me to:
- enter the TO-DO item into database just by
clicking one link as by email address the person
is found in the database, and subject can be
used as TO-DO subject
- it allows me to add new skills to recruitment
candidates based on their email address.
From: may contain some special characters and I
just guess it is better for me to use some
built-in function in mailutils then messing up
with parsing it myself, like I do it now.
If it exists, let me know.
