Re: [courier-users] Unable to get "From " line

This is a MIME GnuPG-signed message. If you see this text, it means that
your E-mail or Usenet software does not support MIME signed messages.
The Internet standard for MIME PGP messages, RFC 2015, was published in 1996.
To open this message correctly you will need to install E-mail or Usenet
software that supports modern Internet standards.

Of course, that's because you are invoking vacation without prepending the
From_ header.

Your invocation of preline is obviously used only to prepend the From_
header before the message is passed to procmail, and has nothing to do with
anything that happens as a result of invoking dot-forward.

In this case, the contents of your .forward file should probably be:

\earle, "| /opt/courier/bin/preline /usr/ucb/vacation earle"

You need to review the description of the || operator, and dotforward.
dot-forward does not execute anything, so piping a message to dotfotward
accomplishes nothing. dotforward parses the contents of the .forward file,
reconciles it with the message's headers, and prints the forwarding
instructions on stdout, which the || operator then takes and re-interprets.
