Or, from the OpenBSD man pages:
The biff command appeared in 4.0BSD. biff was Heidi Stettner's dog. He
died in August 1993, at 15.
which suggests an earlier etymology than the hacker's dictionary.

A while back, the web site maintainer was nice enough to put up the
printable-ascii form of manual.txt for me (it used to have the ^H version).
For a long time (since the .7x days or so) I've just done (gnu make):

I'm sure many people here have some nice archiving macros, which would
simplify the commands you need to give to mutt...
As an example, you could define
macro index some-keystroke \
"~r>14d|gzip >> /some/archive/file.gz \
"mark and archive old (2+ weeks) messages"
and push "some-keystroke".
Or, use a nullclient configuration, and let m4 do the work...
E.g.,
VERSIONID(`a null client configuration')
OSTYPE(someOS)
FEATURE(nullclient, yourcentralhub.somewhere.com)

I always been a little bugged by the case treatment, but I think I'm the

Since I've lived and breathed grep/egrep, I can't untrain myself to think
that the search string "(abc|def):" will match abc: or Abc: or DEF: and so
forth.
If not this, I guess my next choice would be the behav

For what it's worth (hmmm, probably not a whole lot if you think about it!),
here's the mailer representation on mutt-* (as percentages of messages with
valid X-Mailer/User-Agent header or with the pine message-id). I'm ignoring
the sub-versions of mutt and everything <= 0.1%...

Thanks, these are good things. Seems like the .txt and .txt.gz links point
to the same (ungzipped) text file, though...
One other thought: am I the only one out there who likes "text" and/or
".txt" files to mean "plain text" (i.e., with ASCII codes >= 0x20, except
for whitespace encodings)?
I'm
