Hi ALL,
Happy New YEAR 2K
I hope the y2k passes smoothly on all of you
anxious people out there.

I cvsuped the whole mail-archive
I need some kind of script to allow me search
my local copy of the mail archive, something that
would:

1. allow something like:
searchmail /usr/mail-lists/ "how to"
$1 = directory to parse (or freebsd-questions) 
for the name of the target archive to search.
$2 = search word

2. see if the archive is gzipped or not
and behave accordingly, i.e. invoke zcat or not

3. Traverses the whole tree if necessary
to find the target archive to search.

Thanks in advance.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.
