This is how I do it:

Put the following code in an executable file in your /usr/local/bin (I call
the file 'editmail'). Then you just type 'editmail joe' from the command
line (you'll have to be logged in as the user or as root).

This will show you the headers of each email and allow you to selectively
delete individual emails. When a user has a corrupted mail drop or has
received a huge file that they don't want to download we use editmail to
perform and email-ectomy.

There is a built-in help function that will show you all the available
commands.


#!/bin/csh -f
# editmail - Allows you to edit/DELETE Messages from a user's mailbox
# usage: editmail {username}


mail -f /home/spool/mail/$1

echo " "
