How to write an agent that shows # of msgs over a certain date old

Please show me the Lotus Script for a server-side agent that :

Creates a .txt report showing....
1) MailBox .nsf name
2) Number of messages over 1 year old

I need the script to look at all mail files in the /mail directory and report on all of them.
Not too swift with Lotus Script so don't be afraid to be specific.

It is possible to write a scheduled agent using the notesDbdirectory class and the read & write statements in LS. However, this agent will take a very long time to process the files if there are too many mail files and/or if the size of the mail files are too large. I would recommend an admin tool to get this kind of information unless you need this as a part of an application...

Approach:

Create agent with following options:

Acts On:     All documents in database
Simple Action:     Send Newsletter Summary
Add Search: Date.. date created is older than 365 days

For the news letter summary you can define subject as formula like this
"Mail Log for : " + Subject

Create a special hidden view which will collect information about all the documents in the database and use this as a template for summary

Create a mail in database, and route all the mails to this database

~Hemanth

This design change should be done in the template and propogated to every database and the agent can be scheduled for your convenience.

definately getting there...
I have done it so that I get a message with links to all of the files within the time frame.
How do I make the message not show me links to all of the documents but simply give me a total of the number of docs that fit the date range?
