I'm not sure if this is on the web anywhere (I've tried a few searches and
not much came up): what is the most straightforward way to archive all
messages before a certain date? I just loaded up a huge mail store and want
to archive everything before, say, March this year. I've tried various
combinations of chronic commands and the 'g' to tag threads but I'm not
getting anywhere. Also, sup seems built to *toggle* threads rather than
force them to a certain state (+inbox or -inbox). Any ideas?
Thanks,
- Mike

The best strategy I've found is to dump the inbox, do a manual search replace
on the appropriate range of the inbox tag, and then load it back up again.

I believe that sup-tweak-labels is the thing you want to use.
It's been a long time since I tried it but I do recall
I was able to do what you're trying to do. Make sure
you use --dry-run first to make sure you don't wreck
things.
