I stand corrected... and I learn something new every day. Makes much
sense now that I've done 'man grepmail' (I had been assuming the
results were a list of files).
And I agree... very slick, since in kshell it would take something like:
grepmail -huqd "between 2001-09-01 and 2001-10-01" \
"^From.*frob@(foo|bar).net" mbox1 mbox2 mbox3 > tmp.txt
mutt -f tmp.txt
rm tmp.txt
Anyway, sorry to put my foot in my mouth so publicly. ;-)
