Re: [9front] Mailing list mails completely lost?

[theinicke@bss-wf.de]

Just as an update, going to be quite now:

In the meantime both my last mails got delivered to my mailbox
(the aforementioned mails are still in limbo).

Also if someone likes the script, I have changed it to take all
the mail files into account:

#!/bin/rc

argv0=$0
fn usage {
	echo usage: $argv0 '[-ds datestart] [-de dateend] searchstr' >[1=2]
	exit 'usage'
}
datestart=()
dateend=()
while(~ $1 -*){
	switch($1){
	case -ds
		datestart=$2
		shift
	case -de
		dateend=$2
		shift
	case * 
		usage
	}
	shift
}
if(! ~ $#* 1)
	usage

searchstr=$"1

ramfs
mkdir /tmp/mails
for(f in `{ls | sed -n '/^[0-9]+\.[0-9][0-9](\.tmp)?$/p' | sort -rn}) {
	date = `{echo $f | sed 's/\.[0-9][0-9](\.tmp)?$//'}
	if(~ $#datestart 0 || test $date -ge $datestart) {
		if(~ $#dateend 0 || test $date -le $dateend) {
			if(grep -i $"searchstr <$"f >/dev/null) {
				aux/stub /tmp/mails/^$f
				bind $f /tmp/mails/^$f
			}
		}
	}
}
