NAME

       matcherrc2perlfilter - convert matcherrc rules to Perl

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the matcherrc2perlfilter.

       This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       This script converts matcherrc filtering rules (default rules format) into perl_filter rules for usage
       with the claws-mail-perl-filter plugin of the Claws Mail mailer.

USAGE

       matcherrc2perlfilter

       No arguments required. Conversion is done for current user only.

FILES

       ~/.claws-mail/matcherrc
           Input file where standard filtering rules lie.

       ~/.claws-mail/perl_filter
           Output  file  written  by this script. Converted rules are appended if the file already exists, so be
           careful when running the script more than once.

CAVEATS

       This conversion script doesn't produce nice Perl code and is just intended to get  you  started.  If  you
       choose to use the Perl plugin, consider rewriting your rules.

SEE ALSO

       claws-mail(1), claws-mail-perl-filter(7).
