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.
