DESCRIPTION

build_dist.pl accepts the name of a target folder as an argument. It then opens that folder and rummages through all the mail files in it, looking for "Reply-to:" headers (or "From:" headers, where there is no "Reply-to:"). It then appends a message into the folder containing all of the addresses in thus found as a list of recipients. This message can be used to conveniently drag and drop names into an address book, distribution list, or e-mail message, using the GUI client of choice.

The email appended to the folder specified in the -f option will have the subject "buid_dist.pl folder Output".
