True, but the reason I was doing find to begin with and not
`echo Mail/*` was that someone complained about it not recursing. :-)

Right, but if you don't have Maildir, and want, say
=oldmail/something, then that would turn into =something, which would
be wrong. (although of course it wouldn't get there to begin wth b/c
