I have an email in my queue ....

[root@linuxbuild bin]# ./exim -bp -C /usr/exim/etc/exim-inbound.cf
 0m   213 1DoOE0-0005Qs-1P <HYPERLINK
"mailto:andrew.johnson@sappsys.co.uk"andrew.johnson@???> ***

          HYPERLINK
"mailto:andrew.johnson@sappsys.co.uk"andrew.johnson@???



I try and run the Edit Body option (But it fails)

[root@linuxbuild bin]# ./exim -C /usr/exim/etc/exim-inbound.cf -Meb
1DoOE0-0005Qs-1P
exim abandoned: unknown, malformed, or incomplete option -Meb


However, the rm option works fine...

[root@linuxbuild bin]# ./exim -C /usr/exim/etc/exim-inbound.cf -Mrm
1DoOE0-0005Qs-1P
Message 1DoOE0-0005Qs-1P has been removed

[root@linuxbuild bin]# man exim

       -Meb <message-id>
              This runs, under /bin/sh, the command defined in the shell
vari-
              able VISUAL or, if that is not defined, EDITOR or,  if  that
is
              not  defined,  the  command vi, on a copy of the spool file
con-
              taining the body of message (eb =  Edit  Body).  If  the
editor
              exits  normally,  then  the result of editing replaces the
spool
              file. The message is locked during this process, so no
delivery
              attempts  can  occur. Note that the first line of the spool
file
              is its own name; care should be taken not to disturb  this.
The
              thinking  behind providing this feature is that an
administrator
              who has had to mess around with the addresses to get  a
message
              delivered  might want to add some (grumbly) comment at the
start
              of the message text. This option can be used only  by  an
admin
              user.



Any thoughts ??
