etc....

that file will be emptied every two weeks by a cron job.

Er, that seems unfortunate - the messages you'd deprecated the day
before the cron job won't have any effect on future messages because
they'll be purged because of an arbitrary 2 week cycle.

I am aware that there will be this effect. I am fine with it because:

1) 99.99% of the threads I've endured where I would have used this
   macro lasted (much) less than ten days

2) I can always change the timeout later, when everything else work.

Not to mention that, if I manage to use formail straight from mutt as
I mentioned in my other reply, there would be cache less to manage, so
it can even be bigger

Thanks again,
        Marco
