#
# hyperfeed.pl
#
#   Feed messages from an mbox into hypermail one at a time so as to test the
#   incremental mode of hypermail.
#
#   -a <args>  call hypermail with these arguments instead of the default
#   -e <num>   stop feeding messages after the one with this index (1-based)
#   -f <path>  use this as the mbox to draw messages from
#   -h <path>  use this as hypermail instead of the default
#   -s <num>   start feeding messages with the one with this index (1-based)
#
# Notes:
#
#   You can use this to extract a single contiguous range of messages from an
#   mbox by using a command line such as
#
#     hyperfeed.pl -s 10 -e 20 -h /bin/cat -a '' -f mbox.all > mbox.some
#
#   That command line will open an mbox named mbox.all and run separate
#   invocations of cat on messages 10 through 20-- eleven messages in all,
#   skipping the first nine. By using /bin/cat instead of hypermail, the 
#   effect is to send the messages, still in mbox format, to the standard
#   output. Why you might care to do that is left as an excercise for the
#   reader.
