In ex/vi, . means the current line. Nope. That doesn't work. Looking at the code, I can see where it would need to be changed (pattern.c:eat_range), but I don't know how to get the index number of the current message. It looks like it's mutt_index_menu()'s MUTTMENU *menu's current field but I don't think that's accessible to eat_range(). It looks like the answer is no. cheers, raf
