Upon saving a message ("s" in curses % mode), mush prompts for a default mailbox which is always the same (mbox). % Is there any means for setting this default mailbox to the last mailbox % used to save a message? From article <7972@exodus.Eng.Sun.COM>, by argv@turnpike.Eng.Sun.COM (Dan Heller): % The prompt says "mbox", but the actual file it saves to really *is* % your "mbox" variable, whatever that may be. This should be fixed % in 7.2.2 (yeah, I know, it's still not posted yet). This is not exactly what I am looking for. You say that messages are saved in the mailbox designated by the "mbox" variable; but this variable has a fixed static value. What I would like is a mechanism whereby, each time you save a message, the "default" mailbox for saving is set to the mailbox used for this saving. This is the way "Mailtool" on SunOS works, for instance. In others words, the dialog would look like below: filename to save [mbox]: +mb => message saved to +mb filename to save [+mb]: => message saved to +mb filename to save [+mb]: +mailbox => message saved to +mailbox filename to save [+mailbox]: => message saved to +mailbox etc... -- _ __ _ _ _ ___ Marc Guillemont ' ) ) ' ) ) ) / ) Chorus syste`mes /--' __ / / / / __ . . 6, avenue Gustave Eiffel / / ' / / ( (___/_(_/_ F-78182, St-Quentin-en-Yvelines Cedex Tel: +33 (1) 30 64 82 00 Fax: +33 (1) 30 57 00 66 E-mail: mgu@chorus.fr or mgu%chorus.fr@mcsun.EU.net
