newsbody
copies the body of a news or email article in
message
to a temporary file (called the
bodyfile)
and then calls
program
with its
arguments.
program
is supposed to somehow change the
bodyfile.
It can for instance be a spell checker. Afterwards the possibly
changed body is remerged with the headers and copied back into the
message.
If
message
is specified as
-
then
newsbody
will act as a filter, i.e. standard input and standard output will
be used.
%f
in the
arguments
will be expanded to the name of the
bodyfile,
or
-
if the -f option is used. Use
%%
for a real % character.
OPTIONS
-f
The called program is a filter so don't make a temporary file, but
pipe the body to its standard input and read it back from its
standard output.
-h
Keep the entire header. This flag can also be used if
newsfile
doesn't have a header at all.
-q
Also remove quotes before filtering the body. Lines starting with
> are considered quotes.
-s
Also remove signature before filtering the body.
-k headername
Keep these header lines in the bodyfile. Multiple -k flags are
allowed.
-v
Print the version and exit.
FILES
newsbody
uses one or two temporary files with names given by the
tmpnam(3)
function.
BUGS
If some system call gives an unexpected error
newsbody
will stop immediately with an error message leaving its temporary
files.
