But personally, when I had to do this years ago, I wrote a Perl
script that looked for the '^From ' header, grabbed the date/time,
figured out how old it was, and then did or did not copy it to the
output. Don't forget to use lockfile first to make sure no mail is
delivered to it while you're doing the swap.
Ah, that's what I was afraid of. Yeah, I've been down that path, and
there there be dragons and all sorts of other madness.
This issue alone was reason enuf to specify Maildir as the mail
store format of choice forever anywhere I had a say in the matter.
I still have a few mbox accounts, but I'm getting rid of them as fast
as I can.
