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:', `Resent-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 command 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.

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.
