I have a much more simple setup :) I just have ~/mail for all of my incomming mail mailboxes...and ~/mail/read/ for all my mboxes of mail that has been read already and I let mutt sort out what mail has been read and what hasn't. maybe it is time to revise my system a bit... BTW its sortt of another topic (ok completly) but...in mutt what is the definition of = or + in a mailbox name? I had the darndest time setting it up to tell it which files are incomming and which read mail should be moved to...I got it finnaly but I couldnever find a good definition of the differecne and what they actually mean this all reminds me...I was working on a project involving mail...I must resserect that.,.. -Steve > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Part 1.2 Type: application/pgp-signature -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." -- H.
