Hi David,
I quickly prototyped an -outfile switch to mhstore, let me
know if you want me to finish it up and add it.
I think ~/bin/mhcat linked to mhstore might do me, thanks.
I might add it anyway, unless there's objection real soon. I
often do mhstore+mv, this would save me a step. That step is
non-trivial, it's actually
mhstore + look for the filename + copy that filename to the mv.
One annoyance is mhstore/mhcat chucking `storing message 42 part 2 to
stdout' on stderr. I've tried -noverbose mentioned in the manual but it
has no effect and is apparently the default anyway. How does one shut
it up?
One cannot :-/
Is there anything that is currently controlled by -[no]verbose for
mhstore? The `storing' message would seem to be verbose to my eyes.
The -noverbose switch does absolutely nothing now. I'd offer to
fix it, but after looking into it, it will be harder than adding
-outfile :-/ The proper fix would be to add an argument to
roughly a dozen internal mhstore functions. (The mhlist
functions already have it.) I'd rather not add the global, it
would be a hack.
Though with mhstore -outfile - 2>/dev/null, that's not necessary.
True, though I dislike discarding the known unknowns so tend to do more
pick ... 2> >(sed '/^pick: no messages match specification$/d')
to explicitly remove the known knowns. :-)
I just tripped over that in the test, good idea.
David
