Help!
In an effort to organize my mail and process it more efficiently, I
picked up on combinations of "pick" and "save". So, wanting to save
summaries from Sun-managers, for example, I type
pick -i -t sun-managers | pick -i -s summary | save ~/mail/sm-summ
and I'll process it as a folder later. Typing this in "mush" works fine.
However, I use mushtool for 99.999% of my mail processing. So I defined
a function key to do the above as follows:
fkey F10 "pick -i -t sun-managers | pick -i -s summary | save ~/mail/sm-summ"
Now the problem. When I hit F10, I indeed get the summaries saved as
requested, but mushtool CRASHES with "IOT trap" error.
Is this an error? Did I screw something up in building mush? Or is this
kind of thing illegal from mushtool?
BTW, I'm using Mush 7.2.0.
Send stuff to me and I'll summarize (I hope).
