Let's kill this thread. The OP is obviously a jerk. His first
response to reasonable requests for concrete information is "Was
it really confusing? The aliases file can copy an email to a file
and also pipe to a script. The file perms of the email prevent the
the script from parsing the file. [...]" and provides only a fraction
of the information requested.

If people react to reasonable requests as if someone stepped on
their dick, then just don't help them.
