Getting at incoming message contents?

[Pierre Fortin]

Hi,

Using:  execute "myscript %F"

Can someone give me a clue as to how to access an incoming message's body
when %F passes "/home/pierre/.claws-mail/tempfolder/processing/253" which
is no longer available when my script gets invoked?  There is no other
pointer to the actual message (now in inbox) that I can find, and no %b
(Body) available on "execute"...

I'm trying to have CM send partial contents of certain messages to my
cell phone via SMS for immediate attention while I'm away from my
computer... I've been doing this with subject lines; but now I have a need
to get at an incoming message's body to create an SMS message which is
limited to 160 chars.  :(

I'd be happy with a hidden option that delayed the deletion of the message
from the processing folder if body access is not currently available.  :)

Then again, I may be overlooking something obvious due to my height  :D

Thanks,
Pierre

%F should work, is your script asynchrone?

How to make it so?  My test is very basic:

execute "myscript %F"

myscript:
#!/bin/bash
cat >> myscript.log <<EOF
$*
EOF
cat $1 > myscript.msg

myscript.log:
/home/pierre/\.claws\-mail/tempfolder/processing/253

myscript.msg:
[empty]

Thanks,
Pierre

It works for me... Using:
#!/bin/bash
echo $1
cat $1
cp $1 /tmp/prout

When running Claws from the console I get
/home/colin/.claws-mail/tempfolder/processing/1
[contents of the mail]

and /tmp/prout contains the mail as well...

It's strange that in myscript.log you get escaped . and -
(\.claws\-mail), maybe that's to investigate... It isn't Claws that
makes this escaping.

Using python instead, it still escapes the filename and can't read the
file:

cmtest.py (I used "myscript" earlier for simplicity):
#!/bin/env python
import sys,os
f = open("cmtest.log","w")
f.write("%s\n" % ' '.join(sys.argv[1:]))
f.close()
try:
    r = open(sys.argv[1],"r").readlines()
except:
    r = "Can't open/read %s\n" % sys.argv[1]
f = open("cmtest.msg","w")
f.write(r)
f.close()

cmtest.log:
/home/pierre/\.claws\-mail/tempfolder/processing/268

cmtest.msg:
Can't open/read /home/pierre/\.claws\-mail/tempfolder/processing/268

Just to be sure we're on the same page, I send a message from another CM
instance and let the receiving CM fetch/filter on its own.

This is the filter which runs both bash and python:
enabled rulename "CMtest" subject matchcase "CMtest" execute "/home/pierre/bin/cmtest.sh \"%F\"" execute "/home/pierre/bin/cmtest.py \"%F\"" move "#mh/Mailbox/inbox/TODO"

Any other ideas?  I'm looking into the escaping..

Cheers,
Pierre

How does execute pass to the shell?   bash doesn't escape on input that
I'm aware of and python would require that I "import re" to access
re.escape() -- I verified that the escapes exist in the files in case it
could have been an artifact of "less"...

Puzzled,
Pierre
