Based on your other comments, I'm reasonably sure that you are off by one or two versions of the software. However, just in case you're using the current version, you probably have $verify set to include "save" -- e.g. "set verify = save" (you can set this to one or more of a list of values). > 2.

If you are using the latest version, you must compile with WALK_MENUS defined. You should probably add -DWALK_MENUS to the CFLAGS line in your makefile. If you've got an old version, this isn't available. > 3. Mailtool had a convenient feature that allowed you to also see > the ignored headers if you really wanted to. (You could do a If you have "alwaysignore" set, then nothing you can do with show your ignored headers. However, despite that, you may be right that there is no way to view a message thru the "normal" sunview interface that doesn't ignore ignored headers. You can, however, define a function key to do this (see the man page for fkeys for details). > 4.

Mush provides # as the "last accessed folder" and you can toggle back and forth between two folders without ever changing the text item. The other more commonly accessed folders are available as the first 3 menu items in the "folder" menu. I must admit that I don't really understand what you want very much (I'm trying to use sun's mailtool to see what you mean, but it keeps coredumping on me -- I think I have an out of date version of it). > 5.

If you want to change the default folder, go to the options menu and change the value for "mbox" -- that's your default folder. > 6.
