grepmail's a great little app. Basically what it does is, it works
like grep except it expects the file it's searching to be a
"From "-delimited mbox file. For each match it finds, it outputs the
entire message containing that line. The output (which is normally
spit to stdout) can be redirected to a file to create a new mbox file
if desired.
