Re: splitting Mbox file thread-sorted

I have no reformail(1) or maildrop(1) installed; so I checked the man page here: http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/reformail.html and understand what the above is doing (breaking the mbox into single mails and piping them again through a local MDA maildrop(1)). But this is not I was looking for. I want to break a big mbox file into pieces of lets say 1000 mails, and not in the order the mails are in the source file, but thread sorted; i.e. if the 1st and the last mail of this big 10.000 mbox file belong to one thread, they should be in one file; don't see how this would be possible with maildrop(1); any idea is welcome; matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ Vote NO to EU The Lisbon Treaty: http://www.no-means-no.eu ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
