What are you trying to do, apart from delete a file? You need a way to identify the message that you want to delete, eg by date/timestamp, message content, etc. If the messages are stored in maildir or mh format, then it is simply a question of locating the message you want to delete by using the appropriate tool. If you can identify it by timestamp, then "find" can do everything you need. If you need to scan the contents to find, for instance, a certain string in the message, then perl or grep could be useful. Check out the GNU package "mailutils", maybe it can help you achieve what you want to do. It has a tool called "readmsg", that can "extract selected messages from a mailbox" - maybe that would be a good place to start. It also has "movemail" -- "extract selected messages from a mailbox", maybe it can delete as well as move - read the man page. Oh, and please don't top post.
