Jude, Thanks for your script! So, in the spirit of constructive criticism ... it is probably not obvious to new nmh users that nmh actually has a pretty rich set of tools to deal with email. So, for example, you could replicate this script with the nmh 'folder' command. Also, there are symbolic names for things like the first and last messages in a folder, and the ability to define custom message lists (called sequences). This is all documented in the mh-sequence man page. It also might interest you that nmh actually has a little embedded language, documented by the mh-format man page, that is interpreted by scan, repl, and a few other programs. So you can use this to interrogate specific header fields of messages, for example. You also might want to check out the man page for fmttest if you want to try writing your own (I do not claim the mh-format language is wonderful, but it does work at it's assigned task). And finally, the nmh(7) and mh-chart(7) man pages might give you an idea of all of the commands available and what they do. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
