Hi,
In case anyone was following along and still wants to see the code which
naturally disappeared when we packed up here it is.
$ head ?
==> 1 <==
subject: foo bar
==> 2 <==
subject: foo
bar
==> 3 <==
subject: foo
bar
==> 4 <==
subject: xyzzy
==> 5 <==
subject: fo=?utf-8?Q?=6f?= bar
$
$ scan -width 0 -format '%(decode{subject}):%{subject}:%(putlit{subject}):'
+.
foo bar:foo bar: foo bar:
foo bar:foo bar: foo
bar:
foo bar:foo bar: foo
bar:
xyzzy:xyzzy: xyzzy:
foo bar:fo=?utf-8?Q?=6f?= bar: fo=?utf-8?Q?=6f?= bar:
$
$ scan -width 0 -format '%(msg) %(decode{subject})' +.
1 foo bar
2 foo bar
3 foo bar
4 xyzzy
5 foo bar
$
$ scan -width 0 -format '%(msg) %(decode{subject})' +. |
> awk '{m=$1; sub(/[^ ]* /, "", $0)} NR>1 && $0==l {print m} {l=$0}'

$
And that one-line awk above, as I originally wrote it, re-formatted to
be a usable script, i.e. chmod +x, is
#! /usr/bin/awk -f
{ m = $1; sub(/[^ ]* /, "", $0) }
NR > 1 && $0 == l { print m }
{ l = $0 }
It would be interesting to see the length of a functionally equivalent
Python version as a lot of what awk makes implicit is tedious code in
many other languages and requires much more comprehension for
non-programmers, e.g. method functions of an object, context objects,
etc.
