Thank you very much for the nice little script, one of my next bits of spare time will be spent making my mutt config use this (I would probably have ended up using something like it (there is already stacks of code in that config)). And thank you for stating the the options and good arguments. I hope that mutt will get some support for preprocessing, since you have showed it to nicely fill the need I pointed out. /dossen
