Same here. I've heard about the emacs interface. What can that one do ? My suggestion would be that the result of the = command gets put into a mouse sensitive window where I then click the messages I want to read. Can the emacs based version do that ? Another useful facility would be to be able to bring to the attention of colleagues some interesting messages. The easiest, but most space consuming would be to add a forward command to RN and forward the whole message to the person, using the mailer. Are more clever mechanisms possible ? E.g. a "brought to attention" list of messages that would be added to the .rn log file ? Rene rene@ascom.uucp Switzerland
