If anyone's interested, the scripts are at http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/users/ben/scripts/mail/ (and no snide remarks about my perl skills [or lack thereof] please :-) Useful feedback would be appreciated though. They don't use any file locking at the moment, which could cause a problem, but they suffice for my personal use (which is all I wrote them for). -- [1] removing those received: headers saves a fair bit of space -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
