I was thinging along the same lines as Steve, but then: if my index % is ordered, I'd expect the the edited message to show up in the right spot
Sure; that makes sense. % in the index anyway regardless of being "a fresh message". So Steve, do Well, unless you change pertinent information in the message (if you sort by threads but break the References: header, or if you sort by date but change the date, or ...) it ought to land right where you expect it to. % you order your index on some message feature (eg Date:) or just physical % mail folder order? If you sort by mailbox order then it should land at the bottom just as you'd expect from the sorting :-) That's actually only half a smiley; I'd much rather have it down there if that's how I sort than to have it either magically displayed out of order or, heaven forbid, have it inserted in the middle of my potentially huge mbox file. % % | Suppose my default $editor is something ridiculously long, like: % | vi -o2 -e -b '+/^subject' '+s/^subject/SuBJeCt/i' '+/^$/' % | % | Then I have to reset it in every macro: ... % % Stuff in in an envvar.
