i would like some header buffer indication, preferably in one character, of who a message was sent to and why or how. if i receive mail sent to a system alias (i.e. what you get with ypcat alias) of lots of people, i would like to see the header field show that (maybe with a 'a'). if i receive it sent to me and several others (maybe with a settable cutoff), it should show that (maybe with a digit showing how many others). the more other people receive mail, the less urgently do i want to read it. and if i'm only on the cc list, or can be assumed to be on the bcc list, maybe some indication would be useful. then again, that's less important because it conveys less information. and if it has an in-reply-to or references or newsgroups field, maybe it should show that. i recommend that the latter two paragraphs be implemented in one character in the header lines (say, [ 0-9a] for cc and 'b' for bcc, and [trn] for the other fields), and the second paragraph be implemented in another character (say, [ 0-9] for to and 'a' for aliases). ideas? p.s. can anybody tell me how to have my ordinary save key (not #) save mail sent to a certain alias in one file and others in another file? if it uses the alist, i would like an example... thanks. i never did get the alist to work.
