So doing things like "look for a message > in june or july about SCSI disks" turns into: >=20 > find 2001-0[67] -type f | xargs grep -i "^subject:.*scsi" >=20 [snip] Which reminds me a lot of MH folders. And the multitude of clients that can read an MH folder. I think I'll try to have procmail split the mail automagically in MH folders depending on the `year-month', as in: ~/Mail/freebsd-questions/2001/09/* ~/Mail/freebsd-questions/2001/10/* ... I really loved the ideas that started popping up with your message, Mike. Thanks a lot :) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
