I have a little shell script that gives me a list of From: and Subject:
headers of my inbox file. The only line I use for this is:

formail +1 -z -cx From: -cx Subject: -s sed '1,1s/["\\]//g; 2,2s/^/-> /; $G' 
< /var/mail/claus

Works just fine.

However, I want to filter those mails and have only read mail appearing
in that list. The regexp would look like this:

      ^Status:.*R

How can I tell my above mentioned script to skip all mail that have a
"Status: R" line?

You might be reinventing the wheel.  Have you tried the "frm" program
that's probably on your machine?  It can show old, new, unread, etc.,
easily.
