ITP: mboxgrep -- Grep through mailboxes
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to package mboxgrep, a utility which greps mailboxes. Description: Grep through mailboxes mboxgrep is a small utility that scans either standard Unix mailboxes, Gnus nnml or nnmh mailboxes, or MH mailboxes, and displays messages matching a basic, extended, or Perl-compatible regular expression. It can be downloaded from http://public.srce.hr/~dspiljar/mboxgrep.html and is under GPL. -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.

Package: grepmail Description: search mailboxes for mail matching an expression Grepmail looks for mail messages containing a pattern, and prints the resulting messages. It can handle compressed mailbox files, and can search the header or body of emails. Usage is very similar to grep. Grepmail is very slow, and I wouldn't mind an alternative. I blame the slowness on perl. $ time grepmail test /dev/null grepmail test /dev/null 0.38s user 0.04s system 100% cpu 0.418 total Add that to the fact that perl has a 400ms overhead just to load when not cached in RAM on my system. Perl had just been run at the time of this test to gather this figure, but usually on the machine in question it is not cached. What this means is grepmail takes almost a second to start up. I won't even go into its grepping speed. pgpEVsDjZhbgD.pgp Description: PGP signature
