Subject: Re: [Exim] .forward question
ok well thats closer to what im looking for, i dont want the current system
time, as i use exim as my only filtering progie(i know there are better, but i
dont have the time), and often re-feed old stuff to re-sort it. so i can extract
the date using substr but the date formats are not even the same from email to
email, i tried it after getting this, is there a way to send that extracted line
thru say perl code to modify it and use it to make my destination folder? if so
-- I can do the perl code, but im not sure how to get to the perl code my date
from the header, and how to get the newly modified line back to the filter, Ive
read that perl can be included into the filter, but i dont see how that helps me
here, as it seems to only be for the comparison
either how? or where do i start looking for info, ill be looking starting now,
incase its obvious
thanks for the replies
