showing headers that match search criteria


Hello,

Is there a way to show headers of messages that match search criteria?  
I would like to be able to do something like:

 > h /To:jdoe@...

I've attached a patch that implements what I'm looking to do.  If this 
functionality doesn't exist, would it be reasonable to add something 
like it?

Hi Ayan,
I think using 'set searchheaders' then 'f /x:y' where x = header field
and y = search string will do what you want.  There's also the various
'(criterion)' search options but some of those seem to be broken; my
attempts at getting '(subject "string")' or '(text "string")' to work
have not been successful.

Cheers,
Jeff

Re: showing headers that match search criteria


I had a conversation with the nail developer about this & the original bsd
code stream that worked in mailx until recently used as the Fedora mail prog.
diverged from the nail sources at some time so the broken code is still in nail.

The fix is simple - revert to the old code segment.

Cheers

Re: showing headers that match search criteria

Thank you Jeff and John.  Somehow I overlooked the 'f' command in
the man page.
