Hello people,

        I used primarily mutt and sendmail for many years.  (And elm
        before mutt.)  All my mail was saved into ~/Mail.  Messages
        from, say, sm...@foo.ber were stored in ~/Mail/smith; all mail
        from smith was catenated into one file, and if I wanted to
        find something that smith had written, I would just cd to
        ~/Mail and grep or egrep on a likely word or phrase.

        Is there a script that can reach into my server into My
        maildirectory and cp or symlink (say) ~/Maildir/smith's files:

        into somthing named ~/Mail/smith, with all files catted
        together?  

        tia,

        gary kline
