All of the mail in ie. the =mutt folder with a Date: between 1-7-2000 and
1-8-2000 would have to be archived at 1-8-2000 into the =mutt-july-2000.gz,
thats the main idea
Hmm.. procmail sounds indeed better than mutt, but this leaves me with quite a
new challenge: how do i make procmail run a piece of its config file only once
a month, and not on every mail delivery ? ;-)
I guess that would be beyond the scope of this list, but if anyone has ideas
.. pls, don't be shy :)
Thanks in advance,
Nils.
