Try "VM" mailer under GNU Emacs [info: info-vm-request@uunet.uu.net] advertisement: --------------------------------- File: vm Node: Reading Digests, Prev: Grouping Messages, Up: Top, Next: Summaries Reading Digests *************** A "digest" is one or more mail messages encapsulated in a single message. VM supports digests by providing a command to "burst" them into their individual messages. These messages can then be handled like any other messages under VM. The command `*' (`vm-burst-digest') bursts a digest into its individual messages and appends them to current folder. These messages are then assimilated into the current folder using the default grouping. *Note Grouping Messages::. The original digest message is not altered, and the messages extracted from it are not part of the on-disk copy of the folder until a save is done. ----------------------- [sorry, I hardly read this group, and may miss folloups unless notified] -- Dan_Jacobson@ATT.COM Naperville IL USA +1 708-979-6364
