Mike -- I'm surprised at you. You've been using Mush for years and you don't know how to do this? Edit your config.h file and change MAXMSGS to whatever you want (it defaults to 1000). The warning about the folder possibly being corrupt is not really valid -- it just means that mush won't let you write it back or you'd lose mail (which you presumably don't want). -- Dan Heller ------------------------------------------------ O'Reilly && Associates Zyrcom Inc Senior Writer President argv@ora.com argv@zipcode.com
