[First, sorry about the address-change message I just sent to "mh-users."
It's already out of our mail queue, too late to kill it. I wanted to send
it to "mh-users-request."]
Okay, now for the question. We do a lot of refiling here -- some messages
have five or ten links into different folders. We want to get a *unique*
list of all messages in the folders. The printout should have one line
per message (*not* one line per link!).
I wrote a shell script that does pretty much what I want (see output below).
It prints a "scan" line for the message, then a list of which folder/msgnums
the message is in. But the script is slow and sort of a kludge. And, the
output is sorted by the file i-numbers.
Does anybody have a program that does a better job of this? Thanks.
