I think you'll have to write your own.
I agree - but I hoped it could have been done with some fine tuning of an existing script.
At minimum you need a full mail message parser so that you are not filtering, say, base64 or QP content incorrectly. So something which scans a mailbox and for each message:
That's why I wondered to do it with mutt - it can do all that stuff.
- decodes it completely - applies your filters - assembles the new message and write this out to a new mailbox (so it isn't destructive and can be compared to the original - you don't want to accidentally shred your archive).
I would work on a copy of the mailbox file first, of course.
I'd do this in Python myself - it has a good email library and you can do all the things you describe fairly easily with it.
So Python it is... Never programmed it before myself. Thans, Martin
