Btw, how do I list a directory recursively with the more nested directories listed first inside a directory? I feel that I may want to do this before I use my script to convert MH to Maildir. I tried: find . -type d ./inbox ./Sent ./Trash ./fedora ./fedora/FAS ./research ./research/user1 ./research/user2 ./reviewer ./reviewer/can1 ./reviewer/can2 and this does the right thing, almost, except that it lists the directories, and then the sub-directories of each. Is it possible to reverse this listing? If that were possible, I was considering running my script in order, then removing that directory and then going on down the list.
