I'm trying to add maildirs to sup, adding two tags, one for the
Thunderbird folder and one for the name of the mail collection,
following the example at
http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?ThunderbirdImport

but keep getting

> root@Candide03:32 PM~:~$ `ls mdirs`.split("\n").each {|dir|`ls
> mdirs/#{dir}`.split("\n").each {|mdir| sup-add -ul
> #{dir.downcase},#{mdir.downcase}
> `maildir:/home/adam/.icedove/9zurob0v.default/Mail/mdirs/#{dir}/#{mdir}`}}
>
> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `"\n"'

Can anyone point out what I am missing here ?

Regards,

Adam Bogacki,

  The wiki has been migrated to 
  https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/wiki/Thunderbird-Import with some 
  content lost forever. But the new ThunderbirdImport page looks okay for now.

  Looks like the wiki doesn't make it clear enough: the code is Ruby code, 
  not bash. Besides, your code is slightly different from the code on 
  Github wiki: the third pair of backticks should wrap sup-add...#{mdir} 
  instead of `maildir:...#{mdir}`.
  
  Honestly I haven't tried to import Thunderbird data yet since I'm still 
  trying to get a usable .gem package in Ruby 1.9. But hope this helps anyway.
