I accidentally deleted the contents of an Inbox in Thunderbird (MTB). I
know how to recover it, but doing it by hand will be tedious for several
hundreds (thousands?) of emails. So, I need some command line magic or a
script to do it for me.
Basically, there is a line near the top of each email in the Inbox file
of a form similar to
X-Mozilla-Status: nnnn
where the actual value (nnnn) can be anything (e.g. 001d, ,0019, 0007,
0009, etc.). Apparently, this is a bit value. If an email has been
deleted, the 8 bit will be set. In the examples above, 001d, 0019, and
0009 would flag email as having been deleted. An email with a value of
0007, for instance, would not be flagged as deleted.
I need a way to reset (switch to 0) the 8 bit of the X-Mozilla-Status
field in every email in the Inbox file.
