Bug#1009617: mailscripts: new script to reinject a message via sendmail: sendmail-reinject

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

Package: mailscripts
Version: 0.24-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Attached is a patch (via git format-patch) for a script to re-inject
an existing message via sendmail. The script extracts the sender and
all recipients from the message and constructs the appropriate
sendmail command to re-send the message. This is very useful for
messages that were fcc'd but for some reason failed to make it out on
an initial pass (e.g. MTA misconfiguration). A man page is also
included.

Thanks for the useful package!

jamie.

Thanks Sean. --notmuch-id seems ok to me. Do you want to go ahead and
make the change, or should I resend the patch?

Hello,

Well, you also need to add the license header, so please resend.
