grepmail - search mailboxes for a particular email Grepmail searches a normal, gzip'd, bzip'd, or tzip'd mailbox for a given regular expression, and returns those emails that match it. Piped input is allowed, and date and size restrictions are supported. New in version 4.41: - Support for Gnus-style mail files added - Test mail files tweaked to make the test cases work better across all time zones. - Added check for unparsable dates in email headers. - Fixed a Perl warning raised when date parsing fails. - Added instructions for getting the necessary modules to README. New in version 4.40: - Date::Parse and Date::Manip version unified -- Date::Parse is now required, and Date::Manip (if present) is used to parse complex dates See the file CHANGES for a complete change history and credits. MODULE DEPENDENCIES grepmail requires the Date::Parse module. If the user wants to use more complex date specifications with the -d flag, then Date::Manip should be installed as well. The Date::Parse module is part of the TimeDate distribution, which can be downloaded from: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/GBARR/ Date::Manip is at: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/SBECK/ Alternatively, installation can be done automatically using the CPAN module: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Parse' perl -MCPAN -e 'install Date::Manip' INSTALLATION On Non-Windows systems: % perl Makefile.PL % make % make test % make install If make test fails, please run "perl t/functionality.t" and see which test(s) are failing. Please email the output of running the particular test with the -D flag to the address below. On Windows systems: - Just copy "grepmail" to a place in your path DOCUMENTATION "perldoc grepmail" HOMEPAGE Visit http://grepmail.sourceforge.net/ for the latest version, mailing lists, discussion forums, CVS access, and more.
