Upon reading on, I noticed that you can get an even cleaner solution with rcvstore. That also eliminates that pesky message from "refile" saying that it cannot move the message and is therefore linking instead. However the point still remains that you can access folders outside of your mail directory by specyfying a full path after the "+". I still find that feature useful. But here's a problem: I've also noticed that after I do something like "scan +/usr/spool/news/comp/mail/mh" I will also get an entry in my ~/Mail/context that looks like this: atr-pseq-/usr/spool/news/comp/mail/mh: 33-63 This would normally not be a problem, except that when I issue the "folders" command, it goes ahead and lists all the "external" folders that I have referenced: Folder # of messages ( range ); cur msg (other files) /usr/spool/news/news/announce/conferences has 44 messages ( 65- 138); cur= 125. /usr/spool/news/comp/emacs has 367 messages (1219-1587); cur=1531. /usr/spool/news/comp/windows/x has 370 messages (1094-1465); cur=1392. /usr/spool/news/comp/mail/mh has 31 messages ( 33- 63); cur= 55. . . . This makes the "folders" command take much longer than if it only scanned the local folders. Is there a way of disabling the generation of atr-pseq- in ~/Mail/context, preferably, something other than prefacing all accesses to nonlocal folders with "env MHCONTEXT=~/Mail/rncontext "?? -- Niels.
