For organising conference and advertising our courses I have to create mailshot lists from accumulated email, and I'd like to find a cleaner way of doing it. The accumulated email comes from various people with various systems (mail, MH, Poplog) and often involves duplicates. What I've been doing is: * extract the From: lines with fgrep * isolate the addresses using emacs keyboard macros * remove spaces with emacs * change everything to lower case * remove duplicate addresses using uniq * sort using sort Does anyone have any scripts etc. which do a clean job? PLease email me direct as well as posting to the net. Thanks, Donald Peterson. email: D.M.Peterson@cs.bham.ac.uk
