ezmlm-idx(1)ezmlm-idx(1)NAMEezmlm-idx - create index for mailing list archive
SYNOPSISezmlm-idx [ -dDF ][ -fI msg ] dir
DESCRIPTIONezmlm-idx reads all archived messages for the list in dir from dir/ar‐
chive/ and creates a message index. The index file format is identical
to that produced by ezmlm-send(1) (when dir/indexed is present).
ezmlm-idx will ignore messages that do not have the owner execute bit
set.
ezmlm-idx will create the the index file under a different name and
then move it into place.
If dir/indexed does not exist, ezmlm-idx will create it to enable the
use of the newly created subject and author index.
ezmlm-idx will remove reply-indicators and the prefix from the subject
before entry into the index, as described for ezmlm-send(1). ezmlm-idx
will decode rfc2047 encoded subject and author headers. When unfolding
split lines, ezmlm-idx will remove redundant escape sequences for the
character set specified in dir/charset.
ezmlm-idx calculates a subject hash based on the normalized subject
header. Normalization removes linear whitespace, case information, and
message reply indicators. The subject hash is used by ezmlm-get(1) for
message threading.
OPTIONS-d Use the ``Date:'' header for date information, rather than the
top ``Received:'' header. This is unreliable, but useful when
messages have been transferred from another type of archive by
mailing them to ezmlm. ezmlm-idx converts dates with two-digit
years ``xx'' to 19xx if xx is >= 70. Otherwise, 20xx is assumed.
-D (Default.) Use the ``Received:'' header, not the ``Date:''
header. This is more reliable since this is the header added by
the receiving qmail. Also, this results in always correctly for‐
matted dates in the same time zone (usually UTC).
-f msg Start indexing with the archive section containing message msg.
This is useful if you have removed part of the archive and do
not want to create (empty) directories and index files for
these. It also decreases ezmlm-idx memory use.
-F (Default.) Start indexing from message 1.
-v Display ezmlm-idx version info.
-V Display ezmlm-idx version info.
