[Techtalk] email question

[Jennifer Davis]

Thanks to everyone for your help.  The temporary solution i came up for 
this was.

egrep 'From:|Subject:' /var/mail/jsd | sed 's/From:/<p>From:/'
| sed 's/Subject$
date | cat >/var/www/htdocs/mailpopup/date.txt



I will experiment with some of the other suggestions.  I love Linux and 
I guess UNIX.  There are so many ways of solving problems.

Thanks..

Jenn
