:A curious change: Check out my source to version 2.01 gamma:

:in "savecopy.c", about 160 lines into the file:

:	    if (strncmp(buffer, DONT_SAVE, strlen(DONT_SAVE)) == 0 ||
:	             strncmp(buffer, DONT_SAVE2, strlen(DONT_SAVE2)) == 0) {
:where, in "defs.h", DONT_SAVE and DONT_SAVE2 are defined as:

:#define DONT_SAVE	"[no save]"
:#define DONT_SAVE2	"[nosave]"

:As you can see, it used to like either of 'em.  Any scoop on why
:someone would have changed that??

It didn't change, its still that way.  Although the routine is now
mailmsg2.c instead of savecopy.c, due to combining a common function.

Both should still work.
