I find that often I'm reading through and hit the space bar and elm zips off to the next message when I really wanted to delete or reply. Having to press space an extra time would que me that I'm at the end of the message and should figure out what I want to do with it. Aliases should not be case sensitive. Mail addresses are not case sensitive. Why are aliases? Stuart.Lynne should be the same as stuart.lynne when entered as an alias. Could we add another special char to allow direct saving to mailbox files in ~/Mail. For example: =test means save in ~/Mail/test; #test could mean ~/News/test. Feel free to suggest another character. -- Stuart.Lynne@wimsey.bc.ca uunet!van-bc!sl 604-937-7532(voice) 604-939-4768(fax)
