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.list.   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 `iso-8859-15'.

       -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.
