I've managed to sort things out though by use of a couple of dummy search folders. tmp-zen-in gets all requisite incoming messages by AND-ing together a sequence of conditions and tmp-zen-out gets the outgoing ones in a similar way; the search folder zen is just the union of the two temporary folders (obtained by searching for "." in Sender with input from the 2 tmp-* folders). It works and can be extended to more complex conditions The only fly in the ointment is that I have a couple of search folders that I'd rather not see all the time since they are simply scaffolding. > > > That's why I tried scheme. > > > > > > Almost as an aside, you will notice the faulty spelling `wehre' instead > > > > of `where' above.

When you wrote, Patrick. I had no dictionaries at all for spell checking. That is now changed and the checker is working. I'm most grateful for all the assistance.
