well, something more like $(mutt -Q postponed | sed -e 's,^postponed=,,g' -e 's,",,g' ) although i supsect it could be handled natively in perl. > I've never used Maildir.

Maildir format is directory based, with a few sub-directories in each mail folder, and each mail stored as a file. though i'm mostly just familiar as a user of maildir; i use it with offlineimap and mutt. here's at least one reference: http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/maildir.html the wikipedia article also goes into some detail, with leads on more references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir there must be perl libraries available to support Maildir format, i'm sure. i should have mentioned the maildir stuff in a separate bug report, perhaps. :) live well, vagrant
