Hello,
I've found a mail indexing and searching program which I really like. It
just has one disadvantage: the command line interface is stupid.
For example:
nmzmail -i -m inbox
will index the inbox maildir, but then to index multiple mailboxes, it
accepts:
nmzmail -i -m inbox -m sent-mail -m list-zsh-users
So, it's not possible to simply glob for the mailboxes you want because
it needs to have another explicit -m before the next mailbox.
Although a for loop is the obvious solution, I want to avoid using one
because I want to get a full summary of all the mail being indexed, but
also (mainly) because I want to know more about how to do something like
this in zsh.
Sorry for the monologue, but are there any takers?
Thanks,
Tom

Look for the messages of the last week in the list, a few
solutions for this problem were given ;) I don't remember them
clearly, so you better look the list archives.
