And as I said, `-F' requires input on stdin, like this: `grep -F "$(cat really.mid)" rest.mbox' Otherwise [1] you're grepping for the pattern 'really.mid' instead of for the patterns specified *in* 'really.mid', so naturally, you aren't getting any results. > > Try this (with all individual threads split into separate mboxes): > > > > #+begin_src sh > > for i in $(ls *.mbox) ; do > > grep -i '^Message-Id:' "${i}" | \ > > sed -e 's/^.\{13\}//' -e 's/>$//' \ > > > "${i}.mids" > > done > > for i in $(ls *.mids) ; do > > echo "## Grepping for ${i}'s Message-Ids" > > grep -i -F "$(cat ${i})" *.mbox > > done > > #+end_src > > Thanks I did it "manual". > > > Here's another couple of threads squashed into a single one: > > - [O] [Use Question] Capture and long lines > > - id:"banlktikof4txunllufrznsd6k2zys7s...@mail.gmail.com" > > - [O] Worg update > > - id:"m1wrfiz3ch....@tsdye.com" > > - [O] Table formula to convert hex to dec > > - id:"20110724080054.GB16388@x201" > > - [O] ICS import? > > - id:"20120125173421.GQ3747@x201" > > > > > > AFAICT, none of them share Message-Id's... > > Do you consider this a bug? > I do.
