formail -s lbdb-fetchaddr < slug
formail is a brilliant utility that will read in a mbox file and pipe
each message to he command specfied by the -s option. It'll do a lot
of other useful things too, like inserting headers and snarfing From:
lines, etc. Check the list archives for 'procmail', there is a bunch
of recipies from Gus and Jeff that contain rules using formail... and
some useful URLs, like Tom Gilbert's anti-spam .procmailrc. HTH. :)
