# grepm - a wrapper for grepmail utilizing mutt

# grepm-0.6

# written 1998-11-xx by Moritz Barsnick <barsnick@gmx.net>
# updated 1998-12-22:	added "-m" option for grepmail
#			added "exit 1" to trap
# updated 1999-01-04:	added check for empty "mailbox" (don't open mutt)
# 			added messages
#			added umask (to keep others from reading your messages)
# updated 1999-01-19:	added trap for SIGPIPE (any other suggestions?)
# updated 1999-07-05:	added $TMPDIR; we're still subject to races ($TMPFILE
# 			    might exist)
# updated 1999-11-29:	have mutt open the temporary mailbox read-only -
#			    there's no use in editing it anyway
