Yup! That sure did the trick :) I should have guessed it would work like
that, but didn't know elm used the same format.

Now, last question. Does anybody have a suggestion how to re-arrange the
mail file so that it's properly date-ordered again? It's now
old(read)-new(read)-(old(unread)-new(unread), in that order. 

I guess I could go and hack up an awk script (don't do perl, yet), but
maybe there is a ready-made/blatantly obvious solution that I missed?

Cheers,
