I noticed the list stats script I was using wasn't giving accurate results. One thread had many more posts than the script reported. After investigation, I discovered that a few MUA's (Sylpheed 0.8.9, Eudora, and Mozilla) must do a new line on long subjects:
Subject: [newbie] Vi vs Emacs... Not a flamewar!!! Any flames will be ignored I was pulling subjects out using grep, then sorting them and then uniq. However, the subject line above is treated as an entirely new "thread" since the part on the second line is not included. I tried grep to print the 2nd line, too, but that doesn't work because for other MUA's it's a totally different header. Could some regex help solve this, or is there any other approach that you could think of? Otherwise, I'll just have to live with imperfection :(. My mail is MH format, so it uses one file for each message. Todd
