It is not a question of what I do not like, What I am trying to do is quite elementary in a lot of other languages. I want the written output contained in the summary.txt listed in reverse alphabetical (going from Z at the top to A at the bottom) as I wrote in the above example. As it stands the summary.txt files contents are are not listed in this manner and I cannot find a method thus far to do so

NAME
mu_view - display an e-mail message file SYNOPSIS
mu view [options] <file> [<files>] DESCRIPTION
view is the mu sub-command for displaying an e-mail message file. It works on message files and does not require the message to be indexed in the database. The command shows some common headers (From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc:, Subject: and Date:), the list of attachments and the plain-text body of the message (if any). OPTIONS
--summary instead of displaying the full message, output a summary based upon the first lines of the message. --summary-len=<number> Number of lines to use for the summary. Default: 5. --terminate terminate messaages with a f (form-feed) characters when displaying them. This is useful when you want to further process them. BUGS
