Wow! Thanks, Tony. This is a lot easier, because I can use the alias I have to change the To: It will also give me a copy in my Sent mail folder. After I read the news and save what I want, I just go to the News directory and do 'mutt -f Linu [TAB]' and I've got it. I see that I have saved a few things previously in that folder. LOoks like I forgot about them. :-) And like you said, this will keep them separate from my other mail. Great tip! Anita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
