Hi there,
Is there a way to search for messages in certain size range? I'm talking
about bytes here, like search for messages bigger than 1MB (e.g. for
making your maildirs smaller by cutting those 50MB emails from years
ago).
I can't find anything on the wiki or this mailing list...
Thanks!

if you have maildirs the best for that task is to use "find", ex:
find <maildir> -size +1M
will search for files bigger than 1M in the <maildir> directory
what Im not sure of is how to do it for mbox files

Thanks Juan, I actually can do this since I'm on maildir but this will
be quite a bit of work since the filenames don't tell me much about the
message. So I'd have to manually open each found file, see what it's
about and then find the thread in sup. I kind of hoped I could search
from within sup, just like you can search for messages from certain date
range.
But thanks for the idea anyway, I'll do it if I'm really pressed for
space.
