Thanks for the suggestion, but this utility amounts to a search and indexing tool in Maildir, but a mail directory is not where my files (not all obtained bia SMTP) are located. Because I work topically (go to a specific location on disk in which all related files are placed), I don't usually have to worry about searching, but more in displaying multiple files simultaneously and running commands on one of them.
