Oops! This is what I'm using:
mailboxes `echo ~/mail/* | fmt -1 | grep -v /outbox$ | fmt -9999`
Using echo instead of find assumes that everything in ~/mail is a
mailbox (no subdirectories within it), which it is for me.
I use the fmt -1 to put each mailbox on a single line so I can
grep -v for /outbox$ , then fmt -9999 to put them all back on a
single line afterwards.
So if you use this instead:
mailboxes `find ~/mail -type f -print | fmt -9999`
it should work. (or the tr ... echo solution already posted
should work fine, too.)
Note that this fmt -9999 will break if the total bytecount of
the names of your mailboxes is greater than 9999. I initially
tried using something larger like 99999 but found that the fmt
from gnu textutils v1.22 is broken:
devo: gerald> echo asdf | fmt -99999
[ no output ]
devo: gerald> fmt --version
fmt (GNU textutils) 1.22
(hmm, I see there's a new textutils available now, they might've
fixed this in the meantime:
