I've been keeping an eye on the google command-line projet http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/, but it doesn't seem to interface to the mail server yet. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!

Mairix also always complains about mime part or headers it does not understand, and it does not understand many of them. -- Le travail n'est pas une bonne chose.
