I think formail is a better answer! :-)
Oh sorry reading your original mail I was under the impression you had lots of mbox files you wanted to turn into 1 *big* mbox file and then remove the duplicates. To do this (the quick and dirty way) I would cat all the mbox files into 1 *big* mbox file and then in mutt do a T ~= (to select all the duplicates) and then a ;d to delete the duplicates. I can't recall why I had to do this recently but I did, it was probably after I broke my mail system at some point :) Adam -- jabberid = quinophex@jabber.earth.li AFFS || http://www.affs.org.uk/ || Not a filesystem
