</div>Maybe you could use 'find' with some characteristics of the message,<br>
like the size and the date. </blockquote><div> </div><div>the size may differ as the destination change, same for date, as it's a bulk delivery which could last several minutes. <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
You could replace the found files with the<br>
same message, but where all what is confidential was removed.</blockquote><div><br>Nice idea, but you will keep the subject in the index anyway. So, if the subject is "Fuck the boss", you will not get rid of that..<br>
