sorry guys,
I actually didn't intend to bounce that message -- I had the focus on
the wrong X window while typing something unrelated, which obviously
turned out to be a valid mutt key sequence...
Anyway, thanks for your effort :-) (ok, ok, I'll shut up now...)

:Can anybody comment on this little script? This appears to work, but
:may be inefficient. And it's one step removed from what I want,
:recursive processing. That is, to
then do this:
for i in `find . -name *.txt` ; do blah ; done
and make sure you know what you're doing.

$ sed -e '/search/s
