takemail - walk through mailboxes and grep for something
takemail [--outbox][--outdir][--header][--nheader] [--verbose][--werr][--help] mailbox/mailbox-dir
Dump mails applying to regular expressions either to stdout or into a newly created mailbox.
Options:
(or -c) Create a new mailbox FILE and write the found messages into it.
If omitted,
output goes to stdout.
Nothing yet.
Only find messages whose HEADER-FIELD(s) conform to REGEX. REGEX is a standard Perl regular expression, without the leading and trailing slash '/'. Multiple key=value pairs can be given by separating them with whitespace. Example:
takemail --header subject=[Hh]ello from=peter\|john ~/Mail
Care must be taken when specifying patterns with special shell characters, especially those used for piping. This means that '|' etc. will probably need to be escaped with a backslash '\'.
Only find messages whose HEADER-FIELD(s) do not conform to REGEX. Same usage as --header.
(or -v) In addition to normal output, print a log of what is being done to stderr.
Nothing yet.
(or -?) Print a short summary of options.
