% hello,

Hi!


% 
% no links on mutt.org for mailing list archives
% so i'll just ask my question...
% 
% i was thinking about counting every single
% mail i send and get.  kind of silly statistics
% that could amaze me when i'm 70.

Tee hee :-)


% 
% one way i was thinking to do this was:
% for the incoming mail use procmail and
% a generic all matching rule which would
% than increase a variable somewhere.

Sounds good.  If you use the backup method, you'll even get a sequential
count in your backup directory.  I find that I'm up to 266951 myself in
less than two years (since that's when I moved onto this server).


% 
% the outgoing mail could be counted somehow
% using mutt's capabilities and that's why
% i am here....  any ideas?  (not necessarily
% a source change)

You could wrap $sendmail and have your wrapper inc a counter file as it
sends the message, for one...


% 
% -f
% -- 
% There is an exception to every rule, except this one.

HTH & HAND


:-D
