Ok. I saved one of my mails in this thread to a file (test.email), and did:
grepm -iRY ^From Leendert test.email
and presto: mutt ran, and showed my email. :P
My installed files:
Thu Sep 23 18:14:11 2004;install;grepmail;5.00-113 Thu Sep 23 18:14:11 2004;install;perl-Parse-RecDescent;1.80-228 Thu Sep 23 18:14:11 2004;install;perl-Inline;0.44-191 Thu Sep 23 18:14:11 2004;install;perl-TimeDate;1.16-121 Thu Sep 23 18:14:11 2004;install;perl-DateManip;5.42a-124 Thu Sep 23 18:17:22 2004;install;mutt;1.5.6i-62
- grepmail -m -iRY '^From' Leendert /home/pat/mail/backup
What happens when you execute grepmail like above line?
OK, I have found it, maybe. The problem is the parameter -R (recurse directories). My backup directory is stored with each file in it's own directory but in mbox format. Recurse w/o the .../* (asterisk) does not attempt to enter any directory, and with the <asterisk> enters the next directory level, but not the files themselves. It is grepmail, not the wrapper script that is faulty (I think). Recurse may be broken as 'grepmail -m -iRY ^From Leendert ~/mail/backup/mst.*' also hangs. :^( -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
