Subject: Re: Extract last email from an email file (mbox format)
Hello, this is....
From: will this be matched?
From how about this one?
---------------------------------end last message
So this is why I am not sure matching regex with "^From " is safe. It
will also match in the body.
As a tradition, when a mail is saved into mbox format, any leading "From"
line is prefixed with ">" as in your example.
I see, so mutt must not be using mbox format then because it does not do that.
You could use 'H' or 'h' flag in your little rc file to check headers only.
What would be the full contents of little rc in this case?
I do not know what Zhiliang means, but, I am afraid that you
did not check my last suggestion: By using formail(1) + tee(1)
you do not need any rc file !
Do only one simple command:
formail -s tee oneMessageOnly < theBigBox
1. formail works only on the headers (was dsiged for)
2. It will not create a big directory !
3. It is fast.

Kind regards,
