Moving msgs in pine

hey im writing a script like this:

Code:
 
 
#!/bin/bash
#Name: moveMail
#Purpose: To move some files in the pine inbox to a folder on the desktop

#Step one: Find all messages with that have the subject "Hello" in them.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
find /var/spool/mail/ -name "*Hello"

#EOF

is this the right path? Is there a special type of argument to find to find subjects in my inbox?

If you've read my other post in this scripting forum i needed help with my .forward , general.rc and .procmailrc files:
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...-patterns.html
As simple as it may seem, i need to move messages from my Pine inbox folder that contain the the word "Hello" to a folder thats on my desktop.

Could i just use mv? Well that would be to easy wouldnt it?Smilie
