I just have a single window dedicated to the remote system where I read my mail.
Firing up another copy of mutt or using grepmail or anything like that is not a good solution as it requires me to open another session to the remote system if I want to be able to see both the mail I'm composing and the mail I want to refer to at the same time. It's not just a case of firing up a process locally. It would be *really* handy to be able to switch to a split window mode (like vim or vile or emacs can) and be able to refer to another mail message while composing. One particular case where it would be nice is when trying to compose messages to a mailing list administration for example, one doesn't want to copy the admin message but one does want to usse bits of it. This isn't a *very* frequent requirement but it would be a really nice to have enhancement in my opinion. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/
