Hmmm... I meant a termcap definition for something even dumber than dumb, in theory.

So you don't have the advantage of using Maildirs and simply checking the file's timestamp. Not threading is convenient, though. % % Do you know any tools working on mboxes directly? Locking would be no Hmmm... Not for moving stuff out; grepmail will do a good job of finding the messages but that doesn't help you empty the big box. Can you guarantee that the items in this mailbox are in a sensible received order, or would it be acceptable for a shouldn't-yet-be-moved message to perhaps be moved anyway? It should be easy enough to read into the file to find the first date later than your move-to-archive window, back up to the empty line before that message's ^From_ line, and break file in two at that point -- writing the first part to your compressed folder and leaving [only] the second part. % problem, because there is no delivery to this folders, and I won't try % to read these mails during the moving. You could even call mutt_dotlock in your cron job to lock and unlock the box as you're working on it :-) % % Thanks % Nicolas HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
