procmail log chinese subject

Hi all,
I setup my mail server to log MDA details like


LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail
LOGABSTRACT=all

Now the /var/log/procmail looks like



>From sender@domain Thu Sep 8 11:17:56 2005
Subject:
=?big5?B?xaqo+qq6pUSmrjogpNG8xsBdwXC1uKtLqOdBU01BQi05NDA5MDg tMbi5?=
Folder: /var/mail/recipient
1789


My question is, what should I do for the subject: log that can not show
correct character set?



Thanks in advance

What remedy would you suggest?
e.g. converting sujests/headers to UTF-8

Thanks,
If only I can see the subject in CHinese big5

(Subject:
=?big5?B?xaqo+qq6pUSmrjogpNG8xsBdwXC1uKtLqOdBU01BQi05NDA5MDg tMbi5?= )
is indeed a chinese subject. My terminal can show/display chinese well,
but procmail logged something I can not go further.

Have you considered using you custom perl script for converting subjects
in procmail log file to encoding you want?

I think it is the easiest option.

Dear Andrzej,
Thanks for your reply.
Could you point me further how this work by custom perl script on
procmail? What should I do in a .procmailrc or /etc/procmailrc? Do you
mean adding a recipe like

:0fw
| /some_perl_script


if so, what should be doing in the perl script, and what to do next in
procmailrc to log the subject (which is Chinese Big5 character set)?

Thanks a lot

Joshua

SUBJECT=`formail -zx 'Subject:'`
CONVERTED=`echo $SUBJECT | some_perl_script`
:0hfw
|formail -I "Subject: $CONVERTED"

Or you Could first check if the subject is encoded and extract the
subject when it is.


:0
* ^Subject: .big5.
* ^Subject: \/.+$
{
SUBJECT=$MATCH
CONVERTED=`echo $SUBJECT| some_perl_script`

:0hfw
|formail -I "Subject: $CONVERTED"

}
