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 [-- [ arguments... ]] DESCRIPTION newsbody copies the body of a news or email article in message to a tempo- rary 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. stan- dard 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 stan- dard 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 al- lowed. -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 immedi- ately with an error message leaving its temporary files. AUTHOR Byrial Jensen <byrial@image.dk> SEE ALSO pospell(1).
