Hi all, I think I kinda screwed up with mutt, but can't figure out exactly what happened. I had this forwarded mail out of which I wanted to extract the original mail (which was an attachment) . So in the attachment view I said 's' and saved to a file which I then appended to a mail folder. Fine. So I thought, why not do it in one step, so I tried to pipe the attached (forwarded) mail to a folder through >>, but it said permission denied. Then I did '| cat >> $folder' . Next thing I knew, my mbox, where the mail in question was situated, was empty of mails. I thought the folder I was piping *to* was in danger of being damaged and so had made a copy of it just in case ... never thought the folder I was copying *from* would be in danger. I've got (had:-() some important mails in there and so if anybody has come across this gotcha before, please help. -Gaurav -- Ultimate file compression: 'rm -rf /' (100% compression) ---------------------------------------------- An alpha version of a web based tool to manage your subscription with this mailing list is at http://lists.linux-india.org/cgi-bin/mj_wwwusr
