You may be thinking of the "limit" command, "l". After an "l amazon" only those messages matching "amazon" will be listed. You can then "T" tag all those messages and apply other commands to the "tagged" messages by preceding the command with a semicolon ";", for example ";s" to save the entire group. Jon -- Jon H.
