Adrian asked,
I'm also thinking I'd like all the messages in a single file, mbox
format, I'd have to remove the current directory and create the file and
use a rule like this for the backup, right?
:0 c
$PMDIR/backup
But then how would I limit the number of backed-up messages? Anybody got
a recipe they could share?
Check the list archives. It's been discussed before, and to be honest,
the code is much simpler to keep the backed-up messages in individual
files and delete the oldest than to keep updating a single mbox. Even
counting the messages already stored in an mbox can be a pain. It was
actually easier to write it with new messages added at the beginning
than at the end.
