In this case, scripting isn't necessary; if you want to delete and insist on ask-yes, then just feed in an extra "y" in your macro. Scripting has been discussed much but ain't here yet; perhaps in 1.5 but probably in 1.7 (figuring that there will be a 1.6 before a 2.0). Nicolas has posted a tag-conditional patch that will let you do a tagged operation only when there are tagged messages, which looks to be quite useful in macros. I haven't tried it yet, but it will go into my 1.3.24* build cocktail as soon as I get a chance to put that all together (hi, Cedric!). % % Paul :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
