Well, you could use the same idea, but just map it to a different key, then. ie. macro index <some-unbound-key> '<save-message>=archive\n<sync-mailbox>' Alternatively, you could map some commonly used key (like <space> or 'r'eply), to sync the mailbox, before performing their default operation. ie : macro index <space> '<sync-mailbox><display-message>' Both these are untested, but this problem seems like something that can be achieved using the already existing macros/hooks available in mutt. IMHO, you don't need to implement a patch. pv. -- Prahlad Vaidyanathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him.
