Use Control-O instead of ``o'' and it will APPEND the current message (in UNIX Mail Format, meaning it has an extra From line at the beginning and a blank line or six at the end) to the file of your choice, creating it if it doesn't exist, of course. Try Control-H m within RMAIL to see what else you can do.$$ ---- -- PATH: mrl@uai.com UUCP: uunet!uaisun4!mrl PSTN: 213/822-4422 USPS: 7740 West Manchester Boulevard, Suite 208, Playa del Rey, CA 90293
