Hi there,

I have a cron job that mails me a queue report daily;

0 7 * * 1,2,3,4,5 cat .signature | mail -s "ask process queue" samv@localhost

And a job to purge my ASK queue:

0 6 * * * find .ask/queue -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 rm

However, this means that I'm getting information about the ASK queue
duplicated every day. I would like a version of "ask process queue"
that remembers messages that it has already sent me notification of,
and not send me information on those again. Then I can keep a "lost
mail archive" folder, that has a daily report of all the mails I
ignored on a particular day.

Also, given that you are sending out HTML emails already, why not
default to a tabular format?

eg:

From

Subject

Date

fwd

junk

+ign

+blk

+whi
