I have recently pulled MailManager  from purdue. It  is a great  program,  but
misses one or two features sorely.

Particularly, I  miss  the  ability  to transfer a  set  of messages  from the
current mailbox  (or Inbox) to another mailbox  by simply clicking on the list
of other mailboxes that  I had to  pre-select  anyway.  Instead of  giving the
list of mailboxes,  transfer/move appears to  want me to type  in the path and
name  of  the file. Is  there  a way for transfer/move/copy to prompt the list of mailboxes? (or is there a  newer version?)

Another  omission is Emacs-type  elementary editing. I wish  I could type c-f,
c-b, c-n,  and a bunch  of other  elementary editing characters.  Does anybody
have a fix for this?

Finally, a minor curiosity is that the recipient name of  a message requires a
CR  at the  end. Incidentally, does anybody  know how  MM  keeps track of what
messages have been read, answered to, etc. ?
