I just made a major OOPS: I went to delete an old copy of my ~/Mail directory and accidentally deleted the working copy instead. OOPS!
I was able to recover from tape to the last backup, as of mid-May. I have since turned on fetchmail, so I will have recent messages in my files by the time you respond. Now my query: I have a duplicate mail setup on my laptop, procmail & all. I was on a trip from the time of the last backup of my desktop until recently, and all that mail is sitting on the laptop, neatly procmailed, etc. Is there a (fairly) painless way to get the mail from the laptop onto the desktop? Can I simply append files (e.g. "cat /mnt/nfs/laptop/mutt >> mutt"). If I do this, will mutt or any other software get confused because some of the messages are out of date order by almost a month? Is there a way to use procmail? Other tools? Thanks! -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
