for what it's worth, i stopped trying to do large-scale searching of my mail with the mh commands long ago, and instead use mairix: mairix f:vixie s:imap folder +mx scan (where mairix is preconfigured to put its results into folder "mx") the downside, of course, is that since i run the mairix indexing from cron[1] at night, today's mail isn't indexed. so i do use pick and friends for very recent mail. if mairix did incremental indexing, this wouldn't be necessary. and, of course, the mairix searching solution doesn't further the remote access cause at all. paul [1] thank you, paul! :-) =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 46.0 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
