Does it list the number of hits in a mailbox or list the messages by Message ID or some other way? In other words, how do you get from running glimpse to reviewing its findings? In my limited experience with glimpse, you can have "N" number of lines printed before and after each occurence of regexp, or some such. Does your code display the whole posting or hi-lite only the regexp or what? -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
