That assumes he only has one level of subdirectories, but he mentioned ~/Mail/lists/mutt-users/2002-04 (or similar), so that's not necessarily true. If the problem is the newlines, as someone suggested, give this a try: mailboxes `echo \`find ~/Mail -type f -print\`` which gives me a full list with no newlines. The nested backticks are ugly; if you are on a machine where your shell is bash (or bash disguising itself as /bin/sh) try: mailboxes `echo $(find ~/Mail -type f -print)` Although that's completely untested, it seems that it would work if the shell understands the $() syntax, since everything in `` is passed to the shell.
