It adds support for the % modifier, which causes the rest of the match operator to match against the parent of the message (the message that it was in reply to), rather than the message itself. So while ~P matches messages that you wrote yourself, %~P matches messages that are replies to messages that you wrote. > > > Although that would only work if your message was in the same > > mailbox. > > i didn't understand the above statement. when you say "message(s) > in the same mailbox", what do you mean by it? Since mutt doesn't keep information about messages not in the current mailbox, the parent of a message needs to be in the current mailbox in order to match against it. -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-) --Larry Wall
