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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we are getting someplace! Nice job Tony and Anita, try THIS: Put this function in your .bashrc: ldu () { echo "Enter Subject:" ; read nn ; mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "$nn" -i .SLRN/News/misc/linux.debian.user ; rm .SLRN/News/misc/linux.debian.user ; } (note that this is the default save on MY system) Now I just cut the subject, switch to another window, enter ldu, paste the subject in and it's ready to go...Very nice. Copy saved to mutt automatically. Alan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
