With the exception of the slightly awkward "\n.\n" separator, grepmail? If your input is in fact batched SMTP (so . at the beginning of a line is escaped by prepending an additional .), and if it isn't it probably should be, then you can convert that to mbox pretty trivially with perl and pipe the result to grepmail. That's one approach, anyway. I'd certainly use perl for this. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
