swish++ can also handle messages in maildirs, too. Either way it treats the files as "mail" so it can do some niftier stuff (like search for subject this or sender that, ...) > Contemplating the installation, it occurs to me that what I really want > is a web-based script that requires logging on with my Unix username & > password before permitting the search.

However, auth stuff is a MORASS that is DEEP and SCARY unless done just right, so if you haven't done it before, well, don't. Find something that has an excellent reputation or whatever. Or don't do auth and run it on localhost only, or don't use the http at all for this task. -- Ensign Walnut approaches Dr. Crusher with caution...
