You can use formail to split up the mbox, see `man formail`. Then check the date in the postmark line (always the first line, the one that starts with From<space>). That date looks like this: Tue Oct 26 21:44:31 1999, so you should convert to something like 1999-10-26T21:44:31 to make it string comparable. -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
