Initial tests are positive. And I am signed up with mutt-users which is a pleasure that got undone back in the past somewhere. :) Thanx Sjoerd. Always nice to be among thoughtful people after flame wars on forums. :\ Interesting that I had part of the tag. I wonder if it has evolved? Or maybe I got it wrong. I'll never remember! Either way the problem didn't occur in all mailboxes for which I copied and edited the original hook. -- Freeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not criticism, honest, I'm curious why you wanted it. If something's still in your inbox after 90 days, it's because you've not yet deleted it. Why would you leave that work to an "age-ist" 'bot? My inbox has about 10 mails I've yet to get to. They've all been read. Everything else has been filed away or deleted. Perhaps we just have very different ways of dealing with it all. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Guess I don't like to stop and think about when to delete, when to archive, etc.. My procmail sorts to about 10 respective listmail boxes and 5 business mailboxes. After n weeks they save to archive; eventually they delete from there. That gives me a current and aging pool of information that I can read and re-reference as I leave and return to projects. It also gives me archives of business email that comply with standardized length of archive practices. How-to's all to often equate to Don't-do's; forums tend to have high signal to noise ratios; this scheme gives me a current pool of listmail that doesn't backup and is there as I need it, faster than the speed of a connection. I only wish I did CS for a living. I need to leave and return to projects, of which there are always 20 or 30 between 3 dual booting computers :0, as my schedule untangles itself like a sloth negotiating an obstacle course in a swamp, with alligators. -- Freeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
