Why not just download the mbox and then use it however you like? For shrike it's only 6 files at the moment. ungzip them, join them together then you can even stick the file in an imap directory and do searching/ordering/whatever with your favourite imap client. Or - if your like me - use grep and vi to find what your looking for in a terminal window and an imap client in another window :-) -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding! -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
