But I'm picky. It still might : be worth it since you get all the tools. It's certainly faster than mh : ever was. Yep. I agree. I think that the problem is that you need something else (appart from grep) to search on big file trees. Any search tool that lets you lookup file paths by content would work with your mail as well. We have a home grown program that does that, but it does not work well enough and does not deserve distribution. I have placed a copy of our local /sys/src/cmd/mail2fs at /n/sources/contrib/nemo/mail2fs, in case anyone wants to experiment before we clean it up.
