Ever had your index corrupted, and your last backup of your labels from a month ago? Ever had to go speed through a month's worth of mail?
Well, now, you can /not/ have to do that, with a handy-dandy automated index dump tool that I've written. It's at the bottom of the hooks page here: <http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Hooks> and I've reproduced it below for completeness. This is the first substantial bit of Ruby code I've ever written, so style nits as well as improvements greatly welcomed; in particular automatic gzipping of the dumpfiles, and maybe a less braindead backup rotation technique.
