The "reallyReallyBigFile:" is actually Inbox file from Thunderbird. When I was leaving the old company 2 years ago I just copied whole T-bird to backup HD. Now, I'm looking for one very important email and the only place left is this huge Inbox file.

$> file Inbox
Inbox: data

Uh-oh... that doesn't seem a mailbox - although sometimes "file" doesn't guess right.

You should get something like this:

cer@nimrodel:~> file Mail.mzla/Inbox*
Mail.mzla/Inbox: ISO-8859 mail text
Mail.mzla/Inbox.msf: ASCII C++ program text


You could have a look at it using "mc". The search will not be so fast, but I don't think it will crash.
