You need to shorten your From: line, man!

Hi!
I have a log file containing /path/to/filenames of all my important configuration
files:
# cat log.FILES.ninja
+- /sys/i386/conf/AEGIS
|
+- /usr/home/johann/.tcshrc
+- /usr/home/johann/.fetchmailrc
+- /usr/home/johann/.gtkrc
+- /usr/home/johann/.login
+- /usr/home/johann/.mailcap
+- /usr/home/johann/.mime.types
+- /usr/home/johann/.muttrc
+- /usr/home/johann/.signature
+- /usr/home/johann/.xinitrc
+- /usr/home/johann/.lftp/settings
+- /usr/home/johann/.wine/config
[the rest continues like that]
How do I mirror all the files and directories in this file into ~/backup?
If those directory formatting things are really in the file, and you don't have
any files with hyphens in their name:
# cat log.FILES.ninja | tr -d '+| -' | cpio -p /backup
If the directory formatting things aren't in the file:
# cat log.FILES.ninja | cpio -p /backup
Easy. You just have to know where to look :-)
