X-Commands in body longer than 72-80 characters?
Are there any scripts or work-arounds for the problem of X-Command lines in the body of an email message being broken into two lines if they're longer than 72-80 characters? I don't know if something's changed in our organization, or if we just happened to not process any longer than this, but I can see in the mail logs that an X-Command that's two long gets broken into two lines, usually before the email address. These X-Commands then fail. I'm not much of a procmail user. Is it possible to tell the rc.local.00 script that if it finds an X-Command in the first line of a body, it should concatenate all the subsequent lines into one, until it comes to the first blank line? Then, the rule for X-Commands in the body of a message would be that the X-Command must be the first line in the body, and must be followed by a blank line. Thank you for your help and suggestions. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.

The canonical answer is "don't use a mail system which breaks lines without telling you". That will solve a variety of other problems too... Roger
