bushnell@iscnvx.lmsc.lockheed.com (William D. Bushnell) ponders: >if (from contains "joe" and from contains "blow) then > savecopy "~/Mail/joe_blow" >The problem is that filter places incoming mail from "joe_blow" into the file >(folder) called "~/Mail/joe blow" (space included). Unix doesn't like spaces >in filenames, and working with this file is a pain in the you-know-what. Why >does elm convert the underscore to a space? Mail I send to joe_blow is put in >the file (folder) "joe_blow". I'd like to have both incoming and outgoing >mail put into the same file "joe_blow" or some other user-specified file, >perhaps named after an alias as defined in the aliases.text file. >Is there anything I can do? >bushnell@lmsc.lockheed.com (Bill Bushnell) This is a kludge, but a symbolic link should "solve" your problem: ln -s joe_blow joe\ blow Yours, Larry Schwimmer schwim@xenon.stanford.edu
