well, I'll try, but there are probably others more experienced with
the toolmode than I am :-)

Based on your other comments, I'm reasonably sure that you are
off by one or two versions of the software.  However, just in case
you're using the current version, you probably have $verify set to
include "save" -- e.g. "set verify = save" (you can set this to one
or more of a list of values).

If you are using the latest version, you must compile with WALK_MENUS
defined.  You should probably add -DWALK_MENUS to the CFLAGS line in
your makefile.  If you've got an old version, this isn't available.

If you have "alwaysignore" set, then nothing you can do with show
your ignored headers.  However, despite that, you may be right that
there is no way to view a message thru the "normal" sunview interface
that doesn't ignore ignored headers.  You can, however, define a
function key to do this (see the man page for fkeys for details).

Mush provides # as the "last accessed folder" and you can toggle back
and forth between two folders without ever changing the text item.
The other more commonly accessed folders are available as the first
3 menu items in the "folder" menu.  I must admit that I don't really
understand what you want very much (I'm trying to use sun's mailtool
to see what you mean, but it keeps coredumping on me -- I think I have
an out of date version of it).

Why should it become the default folder?  If you want to change the default
folder, go to the options menu and change the value for "mbox" -- that's
your default folder.

Noted.  Thanx.

This went to the mailing list, too.  You have news available, so you
can read comp.mail.mush.
