I see that if I turn this on:

What I'd really like it to be able to save my current INDEX
screen (e.g. selected messages) to a file..
if it's some randomly generated filename in /tmp, fine..
just so I can get a specific list of messages in a file that
I can then do some
other things on them (e.g. pipe to some cut commands then
sort then unique)
to figure out some specific things from subjects of messages
I save.
Can someone explain how to do that, get print to go to some
filename, even if
it's the SAME filename always (but preferably not)?
thanks.
Use a custom printer with the value
Sorry, a custom *command*
cat > /path/to/my/printout
This should work on unix and mac,
but would need changing on windows.
Note that this file will contain the whole index of the
folder, not just the portion that was on the screen.
