I'm confused about incremental additions. If I have mboxes:

-rw-r--r--  1 moseley  moseley   24358 Dec 26 13:34 200109
-rw-r--r--  1 moseley  moseley   22480 Dec 26 13:34 200110
-rw-r--r--  1 moseley  moseley       0 Dec 26 13:34 200111
-rw-r--r--  1 moseley  moseley  209617 Dec 26 13:34 200112

Can't I build the archive like:

>cat hmrc

dir = docs-dev
deleted = X-blabla
warn_surpressions = On

>hypermail -c hmrc -p -m 200109
>hypermail -c hmrc -p -m 200110
>hypermail -c hmrc -p -m 200111
>hypermail -c hmrc -p -m 200112

>From man hypermail:

       Note: If the mailbox that is being read from is an archive
       that new messages are always being added to, don't use the
       -u or -x options.  Hypermail will then  read  in  all  the
       messages  given  it  but will only write new messages that
       have been appended to the mailbox.

This works:

>cat 200109 200110 200111 200112 | hypermail -c hmrc -p -i

Also, anyone have a procmail (via .forward) recipe to index messages as they come in? And is it best to use procmail's locking, or hypermail's?
