On occasion someone sends out a mail message with MIME attachment that we want 
to delete from the recipient's spool file. This happens on a Solaris box, so I'm
talking about editing /var/mail/<username>, and there are often dozens
of recipients.

What we've been doing is using "mutt -f" to open each individual spool
file, finding the message and manually deleting it.

Seems to me there should be a way to search through a batch of user spool
files and selectively delete based on some criterea like sender name
and subject line, but I'm at a loss as to how to code this.

Can anyone offer any pointers, thoughts, or docs as to how to accomplish
this?

Thanks!
