Bemus) Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.bug Subject: rmail filing Message-ID: <8909292120.AA01662@xanadu.LCS.MIT.EDU> Date: 29 Sep 89 21:20:22 GMT Sender: daemon@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Distribution: gnu Organization: GNUs Not Usenet Lines: 23 This isn't really a bug, but it would be nice if it were added to the currently running program. Currently when I am in rmail and I reply to a message, or forward a message, the word "answered" or "forwarded" appears in the comment line at the bottom of the screen. That way later on if I look at that message I can know that I already responded to it. However, if I then take that message and send it out to a babyl file, it doesn't retain that information (that I have answered it or forwarded it). So if I then call that babyl file into my rmail file, the comment line doesn't register that I have answered or forwarded the messages in it. I realize that presumably if I filed a message away in a babyl file, I am probably done with it, but that isn't always the case. Anyway, it is a little thing that I would be interested to know if you think is valuable and/or possible. Sally C. Bemus bemus@xanadu.lcs.mit.edu Ext 8304
