Hello people,
I used primarily mutt and sendmail for many years. (And elm
before mutt.) All my mail was saved into ~/Mail. Messages
from, say, smith@foo.ber were stored in ~/Mail/smith; all mail
from smith was catenated into one file, and if I wanted to
find something that smith had written, I would just cd to
~/Mail and grep or egrep on a likely word or phrase.
Is there a script that can reach into my server into My
maildirectory and cp or symlink (say) ~/Maildir/smith's files:2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 780 Apr 18 2008 1208585354.91013_3.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 731 May 15 2008 1210901757.55602_4.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 566 May 18 2008 1211140486.77700_3.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 578 May 20 2008 1211326880.95596_4.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 578 May 21 2008 1211393732.2283_3.aristotle:2,S 2 -rw------- 1 kline kline 673 Apr 13 2009 1239636788.1457_3.aristotle:2,S 6 -rw------- 1 kline kline 4242 Apr 14 2009 1239748901.16354_4.aristotle:2,S

together?
