newsbody(1) User Manuals newsbody(1) NAME newsbody - Run a program on the body of a mail or news message SYNOPSIS newsbody [-fhqsv] [-k headername ] -n message -p program [-- [ argu- ments... ]] DESCRIPTION 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 tmp- nam(3) function. BUGS If some system call gives an unexpected error newsbody will stop imme- diately with an error message leaving its temporary files. AUTHOR Byrial Jensen <byrial@image.dk> SEE ALSO pospell(1).
