ctl_mboxlist -u ?

[Joe Hrbek]

Yes, the original script had a <\t> in between each word on every line.
However, in order for "echo" to process that, at least in redhat 8, I had to
add a -e as an option for the echo statement. Then it would process the \t.
I never did figure out why the < > was there,  it just showed up with the
other data being echoed, so I took it out.  ctl_mboxlist -u works now, the
\t was required. :)

Thanks,
