I generate a list of the 5 (could be any 'n') most recent messages by grepping and sorting the contents of the output directory. This works well for me since I have the archives sorted by month so there are usually only a few hundred messages and the sort+grep doesn't take too long. This gets me the n most recent files and I get the subject of the message through another grep + a regex of these files. This also avoids the problem you are seeing since I am processing the archived HTML messages. This is most certainly a hack (and the '-scan' option sounds more elegant) but it has worked for me for a while. Regards, - Harshal -- http://www.mumbai-central.com : Where Mumbaikars meet
