How does one pare down the "formail -D" files? It apparently is in some
binary format (terminated by nulls?).
Yes. Single nulls, and an occasional (significant placeholder) double null.
It's not a big problem right now,
but it's not clear what tools could be used for truncating or pruning the
file when it does get too large.
?? The formail -D command specifically requires you to set a maximum file
size. Though formail indeed exceeds this size by as much as the length of
one message-ID, the file size should never grow significantly beyond that,
even if used indefinitely.
