Did you mean to do case-insensitive grep? ('-i' instead of '-I').
Also, the '-F' option expects input on stdin, not a filename.
Try this (with all individual threads split into separate mboxes):
#+begin_src sh
for i in $(ls *.mbox) ; do
grep -i '^Message-Id:' "${i}" | \
sed -e 's/^.\{13\}//' -e 's/>$//' \
> "${i}.mids"
done
for i in $(ls *.mids) ; do
echo "## Grepping for ${i}'s Message-Ids"
grep -i -F "$(cat ${i})" *.mbox
done
#+end_src
Here's another couple of threads squashed into a single one:
- [O] [Use Question] Capture and long lines
- id:"BANLkTikoF4tXuNLLufRzNSD6k2ZYs7sUcg@mail.gmail.com"
- [O] Worg update
- id:"m1wrfiz3ch.fsf@tsdye.com"
- [O] Table formula to convert hex to dec
- id:"20110724080054.GB16388@x201"
- [O] ICS import?
- id:"20120125173421.GQ3747@x201"
AFAICT, none of them share Message-Id's...
