Creating a mbox from html files

2003-10-11 01:08:30
I have a bunch of HTML files that I want to compile into a mbox file, providing a set of static headers, but extracting the Name and Date from the <title> tag of the file.

All the Title tags are in the form of <title>A name/dd-mmm-yy</title> and I would like to feed these files to formail and have it create a set of headers something like this:

From staticaddress(_at_)domain(_dot_)com mmm dd 00:00:01 yyyy
To: someaddress(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
Subject: A Name
From: staticaddress(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
Date: dd mmm yyyy 00:00:01
Content-Type: text/html
Mime-Version: 1.0
Status: RO

<HTML SOURCE HERE>

and add them all to a single mbox file.

I can extract the date easily enough using grep, but is there an easy way to feed that into formail to have it build the mbox file for me?
