[grepmail-announce] grepmail 4.90 released

[David C. <da...@co...>]

Description:
- grepmail is a Perl program that searches a normal or compressed mailbox
  (gzip, bzip2, or tzip) for a given regular expression and returns those
  emails that match the query. It also supports searches constrained by date
  and size.

Download:
- You can download grepmail 4.90 from CPAN:
  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DC/DCOPPIT/grepmail-4.90.tar.gz
- Until the file propagates to the mirrors, you can use the following URL:
  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/grepmail/grepmail-4.90.tar.gz

Changes:
- Made Mail::Folder::SlowReader object-oriented
- Removed FastReader from distribution. (It's no longer faster! Also, I
  couldn't integrate it easily with the new object-oriented reader
  design.)
- Fixed a bug where in some cases emails were not being converted to mbox
  format before being printed
- Made searches involving header-related constraints a bit faster
- Added missing documentation for -F flag
- Added -f flag to search based on message status. (Feature suggestion by
  Richard D Alloway)
- Fixed a bug where -X and -Y flags after a pattern would not be processed
- Added experimental caching capability, which is perhaps 5% slower the
  first time you run grepmail on a mail folder, and 10-20% faster on
  subsequent runs. The cache is stored in ~/.grepmail-cache. You must edit
  the grepmail file and set $USE_CACHING to true to use this feature.
  (Idea and initial patch by terry jones)

See the README for additional notes on caching, complex queries, and
generation of message IDs.
