Out of curiocity: how large that list is? Or, maybe, what is the system you're using (if it's linux, which kernel version)? On linux, command line length limits were shifted to, well, huge values some time ago, somewhere in 2.6.2x series if memory serves me right, and I for one weren't successful in reaching that limit so far -- e.g, i can do `rm *' from within a maildir/cur directory with 50000 messages in it (each with long filename) and it just do the thing without complaining... ;) /mjt
