The "reallyReallyBigFile:" is actually Inbox file from Thunderbird.
When I was leaving the old company 2 years ago I just copied whole
T-bird to backup HD. Now, I'm looking for one very important email
and the only place left is this huge Inbox file.
$> file Inbox
Inbox: data
You see. It's _not_ a text file!
Not? But, I did the same thing to Sent, Trash and Inbox from other
profile (it was much, much smaller). I was able to open it even with
TextPad on Win and search? And I saw everything pretty much "textual".
That mislead me. I apology for this, really wasn't my intention.
We've been trying to get you to tell us things about this file. Now we
know, it's not a text file and it's not going to be amenable to the
usual text processing tools.
Why don't you just access it from Thunderbird?
I tried once and almost screwed up the "current" T-bird I use now. :)
Maybe I can try on other machine?
