This may need some improvement could maybe use message number token on a couple lines rather than the scan -width option but this works for me for now.
-- cut here. #!/usr/bin/bash # file: nmhstat.sh - show message count, first message number and last message number. echo "number of messages:" scan|wc -l echo "first available message:" scan -width 6|head -1 echo "last available message:" scan -width 6|tail -1 -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
