Well, you are almost there. It should work this way: push "<enter-command>set mbox_type=mbox<enter><save-message>\ <kill-line>~/saved_message<enter><enter-command>set mbox_type=maildir<enter>" Just source the file and you'll find the selected message in your ~. Instead of <kill-line> a simple <enter> should work, if you'd like to accept the name proposed by mutt. regards, Christian -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 197.
