It appears that MH puts a '#' sign infront of file names being sent a mail. For example, if I use MH to compose a message, the message is name #draft. If I already have a file created that I wish to send as mail (say for example this file is named "lucky"), MH will send the file and rename this file to "#lucky". What is the significance, if any, with the "#" sign? Is this MH's way of saying that the mail was processed? Just curious, Sherie
