Not sure, if you read through the thread before this you will see that I have found a solution that works for me. -- Chris Green

I'm sure I've asked this question before but it was a *long* time ago and I can't remember or find the answer. When mairix has found a message with a given string/pattern in it how can I tell *where* it found it? I thought it put something in the headers somewhere but I can't see anything there now. I moved from mbox to maildir (fairly) recently, is this something I have lost in the move perhaps?

Reading the mairix man page it says that the messages found by mairix are symbolic links when using maildir so I don't suppose mairix can add that X-source-folder: header because it doesn't create a new copy of the message. Well I suppose I'll have to live with it - or go back to mbox. -- Chris Green

A question about mairix, I'm sure there are users here
I use mairix to search my mail. I'm sure I've asked this question before but it was a *long* time ago and I can't remember or find the answer. When mairix has found a message with a given string/pattern in it how can I tell *where* it found it? I thought it put something in the headers somewhere but I can't see anything there now. I moved from mbox to maildir (fairly) recently, is this something I have lost in the move perhaps? -- Chris Green
