Subject: Added grepm as a template for an output-mbox-to-mutt script.
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.0~71^2~6^2~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2553cc43edd5a792c2f12d10ea1ab4f8cd771cc1;p=be.git

Added grepm as a template for an output-mbox-to-mutt script.

The goal is to turn grepm into catmutt, and end up with
  $ be --xml list | be-xml-to-mbox | catmutt
to browse current bugs and comments in mutt.

Moritz has generously donated grepm under GPLv2.  Not GPLv>=2 yet, so
if the project decides to go to GLPv3 for example, this file will have
to stay behind.  Not that I see such a change coming, but I thought it
was worth commenting on, so we don't forget.

+# updated 1998-12-22:	added "-m" option for grepmail
+#			added "exit 1" to trap
+# updated 1999-01-04:	added check for empty "mailbox" (don't open mutt)
+# 			added messages
+#			added umask (to keep others from reading your messages)
+# updated 1999-01-19:	added trap for SIGPIPE (any other suggestions?)
+# updated 1999-07-05:	added $TMPDIR; we're still subject to races ($TMPFILE
+# 			    might exist)
+# updated 1999-11-29:	have mutt open the temporary mailbox read-only -
+#			    there's no use in editing it anyway
