It's got some dependencies on some stuff I need to weed out before it is easy for someone-not-me to use. It's also not particularly well suited to Chris' requirement, which includes preserving the source tree shape in the archiving process. I suspect Chris may need to roll his own. I'd imagine something like: find message paths using mairix \ | move message files sideways, making sure there's no conflicts Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au>
