oops ..
i guess i should have looked closer, one of the install
programs must have updated my config.sys file, i see it
there ... mailer=sendmail.exe ...

while I'm still here ... I have been looking for an answer to
another question which is probably another one with an obvious
answer..

I have been looking for a way to filter "email" (and perhaps
"news") messages to another email program using vsoup or ownsoup.
If I use ownsoup to prefilter messages can this temp file be
redirected to another file that I can import with another program
like ultimail ..

If I filter the messages to a Yarn folder I suppose I could try to
import the contents of the folder.

Am I overlooking something here that is an obvious answer ..

would something like this work with ownsoup

ownsoup -h "search string" temp.grp output.file >> newout.file

then I could later use the contents of newout.file to import into
another message base ... and delete then delete the temp.grp ...

(must be an easier way to do this ... )

What I would like to do is setup a filter and import each
message to another email program ..

How difficult would it be to have an option for vsoup -instead of
killing a message(s) setup with a filter- to export the messages
to a text file(s) ...
