Is there any way > to search through all of the messages the sub-folders in a folder? I've written a Perl script that I use to search multiple MBX and MBOX in multiple folders. There's nothing special in it, so it should run under any Perl build from 5.005 on up. If you haven't bult your own, either the Cygwin or the ActiveState port should be fine, both are free. http://cygwin.com/ Cygwin includes a lot of Unix tools in addition to Perl. This is the Perl I use most since it allows me to use Unix shells and other GNU utilities. http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Get.plex?id=ActivePerl The ActiveState build is a native Win32 port. The script and supporting modules are in http://home.ix.netcom.com/~mchase/zip/mbx_util.zip . The included file mbx_util.README explains how to read the documentation. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
