Get rid of the semicolon and retry. Mutt aborts macros when something goes wrong, which was probably the semicolon. Remember, the macro is as if you have _typed_ it all. There's no semicolon needed before the next thing you type:-) Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ I couldn't think of anything else to do with it, so I put it on the web.
