If you have the mail archives of every week in Unix mbox format, you can simply `join' the archives by cat(1): % cd ~/mail-archive/freebsd/questions/2004/10 % cat * > /tmp/freebsd-questions If that is not sufficient for your purpose or you just feel like a bit of extra fun is ok, you can use formail(1) and procmail(1) to do custom filtering of your own. Just set up a custom filter list in a file of your choise, and pipe the messages to formail/procmail: % cd ~/mail-archive/freebsd/questions/2004/10 % cat * | formail -s procmail /tmp/customfilter Cheers, Giorgos
