Dan and Bart:
I have a wish list for the "pick" and "mark" commands.
(1) I've mentioned before that I'd like to be able to pick from both the To:
header and Cc: header in one swell foop.
(2) I'd like to be able to match exactly (optionally), not just match
substrings. Sometimes I still want to match substrings, though.
(3) I'd like to be able to match against the local-part of an address.
That is, I'd like "pick -t msirota" to match
"msirota@ee.rochester.edu", but not match "user@msirota.com".
(4) I'd like more than five priorities.
I realize that (3) is probably pretty tough, but it's also pretty important.
And assuming (3) is implented, I'd also like (2) to apply optionally to just
the local-part, so that I could match exactly in the above example, but I'd
like to be able to match substrings for "autox", "autox-request",
"owner-autox", etc.
How likely is it that my dreams might sometime come true? (My dream of
having tabs *not* expand to spaces with wrapcolumn set still hasn't come
true...)
