NAME
     lbdb-fetchaddr - grab addresses from mails add append them to lbdb database

SYNOPSIS
     lbdb-fetchaddr [-d dateformat] [-x headerfieldlist] [-c charset] [-a]
     lbdb-fetchaddr [-v|-h]

DESCRIPTION
     lbdb-fetchaddr  is  a shell script which reads a mail on stdin. It extracts
     the contents of some header fields (default: `From:',  `To:',  `Cc:',  `Re-
     sent-From:',  and `Resent-To:') from the mail header (only addresses with a
     real name) and appends them to $HOME/.lbdb/m_inmail.utf-8.  For performance
     issues lbdb-fetchaddr appends new addresses to this file  without	removing
     duplicates.  To get rid of duplicates, the program lbdb-munge exists, which
     is run by m_inmail if needed and removes duplicates.

     To use this program, put the following lines into your $HOME/.procmailrc:
	  :0hc
	  | lbdb-fetchaddr

     lbdb-fetchaddr writes the actual date to the third column of  the	database
     by  using strftime(3).  It uses "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" as the default date format
     (e.g. "1999-04-29 14:33"). You can change this by using the  -d  option  to
     select  a	different date format string as parameter of lbdb-fetchaddr com-
     mand like
	  :0hc
	  | lbdb-fetchaddr -d "%y-%m-%d"
     which results in e.g. "99-04-29".

OPTIONS
     -v     Print version number of lbdb-fetchaddr.

     -h     Print short help of lbdb-fetchaddr.

     -d dateformat
	    Use the given date format using strftime(3) syntax.

     -x headerfields
	    A colon separated list of header fields, which  should  be	searched
	    for  mail  addresses.   If	this option isn't given, we fall back to
	    `from:to:cc:resent-from:resent-to'.

     -c charset
	    The charset which will be used to write the database. This should be
	    the charset which the application expects  (normally  the  one  from
	    your  current  locale).  If this option isn't given, we fall back to
	    `utf-8'.

     -a     Also grab addresses without a real name.  Use the local part of  the
	    mail address as real name.

FILES
     $HOME/.lbdb/m_inmail.utf-8
     $HOME/.lbdb/m_inmail.list	(old  version  used  for ISO-8859-15 encoded ad-
     dresses)

CREDITS
     Most of the really interesting code of this program (namely,  the	RFC  822
     address parser used by lbdb-fetchaddr) was stolen from Michael Elkins' mutt
     mail  user  agent.  Additional  credits  go to Brandon Long for putting the
     query functionality into mutt.
