I didn't catch the original message, but MH does this beautifully. (I use
exhm, which is a graphical front end). You can use the pick command and
select message based on severl criteria, such as before and after. Once
selcted, then move the message to another mailbox.
But, since mh maintains its messages in directories, there is nothing that
prevents you from moving message by hand or using tools like find and grep.
