I use Mutt. When I have postponed messages, and press 'm', I get a question at the bottom of the window: "Recall postponed message?" with suggested answers 'yes' and 'no'. If I don't want to dispose of the postponed messages, I answer 'n' and I can continue with composing a new message. If you don't get the Recall... question there is a config issue in you Mutt. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
