Thanks a lot for your help. I've learned a bit. I've basically got the script completely working as below (still need to clean it up a little). The only big problem I have right now is I would like to loop on output from find "/home/tay/spam-all/spam" -iname "*.gz" -mtime 1 | xargs ls -t instead of the entire directory. Keep in mind, I want to loop on them in order by the file creation date with the newest ending up at the top of the file.
I've tried for FILE in `find "/home/tay/spam-all/spam" -iname "*.gz" -mtime 1 | xargs ls -t` and for FILE in $Spams but the script treats the output as one filename and then errors out saying the filename is too long.
The other minor issue is that I need to add <table> and </table> to the beginning and ends of the outputted files. I am thinking about having the script, after it is done writing all of the files, go through each one and add the tags to the beginning and end. I am sure I can figure out some sort of way to do that but haven't gotten there yet.
One last thing! I would like to shorten the $Subject to 70 characters. I will probably end up using sed for that unless you suggest a better way.
Thanks a lot!

Okay I got 2/3 down. For the shortening of the subject line, I updated the following line to:
For adding the <table> to beginning and </table> the end of the script now looks like this. Probably better ways accomplish this but it works! =P

Hi.
I have a tab separated file that has a couple nearly identical lines. When doing:

It passes through the nearly identical lines because, well, they still are unique.
