I've been wondering if a long-lived MH server would be helpful. `scan +inbox last:42' would connect to it, learn the message numbers in inbox, and ask for the fields it wants for the format string for the last 42. The server would likely have this information to hand, and if not, go to work, readdir(), opening files, parsing, decoding, etc.
Is it me or does that sound a whole lot like IMAP? :-) --Ken -- Nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
