Uh huh. I thought so :-) % % > % I did a backup of the full mail tree. Just in case ;) % % > That's a good idea if you're delivering into that compressed folder. % % Mmm... It sounds like I'm going to have a mutt-users and a mutt-users.gz in That's one way to do it. I, on the other hand, prefer to put my compressed folders under =Z/ (or =D.work/Z or =D.school/Z or whatnot) and out of the way. % ~/mail/lists/inet-tech/mail, and in another 30 lists, which will break one % advantage of the current setup, where I've direct access to the mail-bag of % each list, while I'm reading new messages in that list... or perhaps I Yeah, but how often do you really need to go back years and years into the list past? If you have six months, or maybe even only three months, or quite possibly merely one month, in your active mailbox that will suit for most tings -- and it's a simple matter of opening up another mutt (or changing folders) to look at the archive folder. % should forget about that patch <grin> and look forward to an ext3 filesystem % for my mail tree. Unless you have one whopping mail tree, it shouldn't be that bad. Go back into the archives and look for ext3, reiser, and pack rat and see what some people keep around -- and on some very low-end systems, too! % % I was still thinking of a way to make it work my way, but you mention about % another problem which I haven't thought of. Locks... I would be in a hurry % if procmail receives mail for the list I'm currently reading, but this could % be fixed stoping fetchmail as daemon, and running it manually (losing a % great feature). Nah; don't cripple yourself that way, and I bet you won't notice your list folders being split after a week or two. Don't forget that you could use grepmail to find things, too, and look in a compressed folder about as easily as an uncompressed one... % % -- % Rafael C.
