Aha, mbox. And pine is your last resort (as you stated in a follow up)? formail and procmail are a last resort! ;) Frankly, if you ask me, they really are not a bad choice for post processing and surgery in mbox anyway. guenther -- who hacked a formail-grep wrapper script ;) -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu...@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
