I do seem to come up with the weird ones :) In an effort to trim an over-large folder, I did this: 'T' '~s some-word' ';' 'd' ie, tag all messages matching some-word in the subject and then delete the lot of them. This worked fine. Then I decided to delete some more. Moving the cursor up and down the list of messages was fine, but hitting 'd' for delete did nothing. Tagging more messages by subject contents and using ';' and 'd' again removed that set of tagged messages, but after that, I still couldn't just hit 'd' to delete any more. I realise that using D and then entering the pattern would have been the more sensible approach, but I (of course) forgot about that at the time. Doing it via D works equally well at deleting them (faster, come to think of it, since 'D' '~s some-word' is a whole two characters shorter :)) and this time you can still use 'd' to delete single messages. But am I doing something wrong in the first instance? Telsa
