I have my auto-folder-alist set up such that it usually guesses what folder I want to put a message in based on its subject. But sometimes someone will change the subject to something useless, like "hey, it still doesn't work." So this thought occurred to me: wouldn't it be spiffy if you could do auto-filing based on References: lines? Like, I don't know, somehow I mention that this message goes to this file, and VM remembers this, and as I read, it collects the tree of messages which refer to that one (and so on) and defaults the folder accordingly. It should probably use the <...> stuff contained in an In-Reply-To field, for those poor saps with less studly mail readers. :-) Anyway, just an idea. I'd still like to have real sorting and some hooks before this... Actually, before just about anything... -- Jamie
