Hi all,
(I am posting this a second time hoping that someone who missed it the
last time may be able to help.)
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.
