just to add to that. if Mail is not a requirement, ned has some
interesting possibilities
for messages with Mg in the "h" line, execute the h command
g/Mg/h
same thing for matches in the whole message
g%Mg%h
nupas ned allows you to search any file that upas/fs provides
for a message. for example, if you want to print out all messages
that reference a given message
25: p references
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
