Hi,


i just installed elm 2.4 PL20, upgrading from elm 2.3PL11.
Environment: SunOS4.1.1, Sun SparkStation II

There were two things:

1) elm refuses to compile with:
        
     redeclaration of utimbuf in leavembox.c
  
  i had to '#define UTIMBUF' in config.h
  So the Configure-script doesn't seem correctly set up the configuration file.

  
2)  i'v run into the following:

  i tryed to read from a folder ('abc' in maildirectory) for alias 'xyz' from cmd-line
  with:
     elm -f @xyz
  which gave me:


    Floating Point Exception signal!


    Emergency exit taken! All temp files intact!

  If i try to read the folder with the correct foldername:
    elm -f =abc
  everything is fine.
  [From within elm, the change folder command with @xyz works as exspected]


-) Now a question:

   i try to tag specific messages according to patterns in the "to"-field, since
   ^T only searches 'from' and 'subject', i first 'limit' the messages using
   'to <pattern>', an then tagging all the selected msgs. Now it would be nice to have 
   a 'tag'cmd wich moves the msg-pointer to the next msg (like 'n(ext)').
   
   OR is there a more easy way to do that.


Stefan.
