PROGRAM:
NAME
mboxgrep - displays email messages matching a pattern
SYNOPSIS
mboxgrep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [MAILBOX]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page refers to mboxgrep version 0.7.9.
mboxgrep scans a MAILBOX and displays messages matching PATTERN.
If a mailbox name is ommited, or a single dash (-) is given instead, it reads from
standard input. It can read mbox folders or output from another mboxgrep process from
standard input.
mboxgrep understands POSIX regular expressions, as well as Perl compatible regular
expressions (if enabled at compile time). MAILBOX can be either a:
· mbox folder (either plain or compressed)
· MH folder
· Gnus nnmh or nnml folder
· qmail-style maildir folder
