That's certainly what we do in MH-E. We have talked about threading on this forum in the past so I hope it's somewhere on The List. I don't think it's reasonable to expect users to have to write such scripts themselves to have threading. Actually, now that I think of it, since threading is usually a toggle, we can use ~ and ^ whether threading is enabled or not. If it's enabled, these characters operate upon the thread; if not, they operate on previous messages. I agree with you; I definitely prefer these over the underscore which seems more like a word separator than an operator. -- Bill Wohler <woh...@newt.com> aka <bill.woh...@nasa.gov> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
