A couple of questions an comments: (1) Is there currently any way of feeding mush the header of the mail you want to send and then have it drop into its usual "sending" mode. The reason I ask is that I would like to use mush as my mailer when replying or following up to usenet articles. Rn has a mailer (rnmail I think) which takes "-h" as an argument which seems to me to mean: read standard input until EOF and take this as the header. Then start reading from the terminal again to get the text of the message. I've tried a number of things but haven't been able to accomplish this. (2) Is there a bug in changing the variables "ignore and alwaysignore" after initialization? It seems that I can't get the effect of turning them off an on and getting the right things to happen (maybe this is an RTFM). (3) Are there any plans in the future to allow the curses (I don't use the suntool mode at the moment) mode to deal with 2 folders at once? I constantly have to refer to mail people have previously sent me (and now stored in another folder) or mail I have previously written (saved by "record"). I would really like to have it that you could "split" the screen in two and deal with both folders at once. Mush is the only thing that saves my sanity (I can receive up to 150 new messages every day). Keep the good work up you guys! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan Emtage, "It's currently a problem of access to McGill University,CANADA gigabits through punybaud." - Licklider INTERNET: bajan@cs.mcgill.ca UUCP: ...mit-eddie!musocs!bajan listmaster@cs.mcgill.ca BITNET: bajan@musocs.BITNET -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
