grepm (a wrapper for grepmail utilizing mutt) appears to be incompatable with the new version of grepmail (5.00). I have reverted to 4.91.
Searching for a specific header pattern results in a very long *wait* with no results.
Having little programing experience, I have no idea where or how to approach this problem. Grepm is important to me for searching message archives in mbox format for display with mutt.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
grepm, a 50 line (including version comments) sh script, is available http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/grepm
A script? :) already tried to execute it with: sh -x grepm [grepm parameters] or sh -x grepm [grepm parameters] 2>&1 | less You probably would be able to see where it hangs. I get such hangs in scripts when I supply an empty argument to a program, resulting in the program reading from stdin instead of reading from a file. Cheers, Leen
