Journal Sanity's Journal: Oh for f*ck sake! 2

Journal by Sanity
Just discovered that due to a stray carriage return in my .procmailrc file, any emails containing the word "your" in their subject line was being filtered out of my inbox and into another folder. Aren't convoluted Linux config files just wonderful!

It is quite amazing how many emails contain the word "your" in their subject line!

To those of you who think I was systematically ignoring their attempts to tell me things about stuff I do or own - sorry!

  • I really want to see the day when I can run xmllint on my config files, or more likely, cfglint. Something that can check my syntax would be nice. I don't know if that would fix your problem, being of the PEBKAC variety, but it would work toward more consistent formatting.
