i'm not sure why my magrep expression used in the following does not always move every message with the <pattern>?
any ideas? yes, i've read the man pages and perhaps don't understand them completely, but someone else's eyeballs can probably see what i can't here. :) [if you use -k option on mrefile it will not remove the messages it has moved which is fine but after testing i do want it to move the messages so i take that back out] $ mlist . | magrep *:<pattern> | mthread -v | mrefile ../../newpatdir mblaze has been great for what i've used it for already (getting messages out of evolution folders into something else so that mutt can look at them). just trying to understand this hiccup. thanks! :) songbird
