OK, its me again. As balsa and mutt share the same folder. I find I can save a particular message out of the debian-digest to a ~/mail folder. However I can't find that message again in balsa. Is there some sort of special file name I need to use. I tried the "message.eml" name but that does not seem to work. Thanks!
