    The "$" and "c" commands have been mentioned so I shall mention
that Elm 2.0 gamma and later versions have separate "j", "k" and "J"
and "K" commands.  The lower case versions ignore messages marked
for deletion and the upper case versions step by the message number.
Now if only Elm 2.0 could get out to the world, yet. *sigh*

    Now how's about a rousing cheer for a feature I talked Dave
Taylor into putting in, but he took back out.  I had asked for
Elm to replace the 3 line menu with totals of messages tagged,
marked for deletion, new, and prioritized.  Do people like
that option?  (I know one can always Sort-by-Status to see, but
that doesn't stay up to date.)
