Thanks for any help or information you can provide. : >Is "awk" out of the question??? This sounds like a trick question ... Hm, I wrote an alias once, before I found out about the from command. Here it is: alias from 'more $MAILPATH | grep From | grep -v "<" | grep -v From: | cut -f2- -d" " ;echo ""; echo "Total Mail and current mailpath:" ; du -k $MAILPATH \!*' Of course you have to have the environment variable MAILPATH set to whereever your mail is. It can easily be improved so it can show how many mails you got. : >-- : >John F.
