If you're using mailagent as your filter, you might consider extending mailagent itself to generate your .overview entry. I played around with mailagent recently, and this seems like a simple thing to do -- most of the hard work is already done by mailagent. It provides all the header info you require in a hash, and it has a well-defined interface for writing your own commands. This way you'll save the fork of another perl script per mail, along with a fork of formail. -Sudish
