Come to think of it, I fully concur with you Neo.
I think I should not have given the full answer.
Wth out the printf typeset is the only alternative.
And I think that is what they were looking for the students to come up with.

echo `echo ` doesn't echoes anything. And it's logic. But
echo `echo `echo ` ` does echoes "echo". What's the logic of it? the `echo `echo ` inside of the whole (first) echo, echoes nothing, so the first echo have to echo nothing but echoes "echo"

pygn2m
pygn2m(1) Python Gateway news to mail pygn2m(1)
NAME
pygn2m - Python Gateway news to mail
SYNOPSIS
pygs -t recipient@domain1 -s sender@domain2 [ -e envelope@domain3 ] [ -h ]
DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in devel. state. try -h option for more detailed option.
pygn2m reads from stdin a nntp article, sending it to recipient@domain1 a rfc822 compliant email setting Resent-Sender: sender@domain2 and
envelope envelope@domain3 if exists, else sender@domain2.
If pygn2m reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is considered an absolute path to an article (ie in a spool), so pygn2m will
open and read it.
EXAMPLES
There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg
I created mailgate user (moderator of local.moderated ng). Every article posted in local.moderated is sent to mailgate, in its .procmailrc
I've put:
:0 bhc * ^To: *local-moderated | $HOME/pygs -t kalfa@localhost -e mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it -s 'cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it'
where kalfa@localhost is the recipient (usually a mailing list)
Here is an header extract from kalfa@localhost mbox:
From mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it From: whosentnntparticle@domain4 To: kalfa@localhost Resent-Sender: cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it
note that sender and envelope are different. rfc822 says that Sender: have to be a human user (not a program or similia). envelope can
mailgate user.
