Hi To scan selected messages currently a combination of scan and pick is used. It would be nice to be able to write something like:
> scan -from bob In order to do this we could add the -form/-format switches to pick and make scan a link to pick. To avoid most breakage pick would use "%(msg)" format by default and scan.default if called as scan. This way only some scan aliases would break (if -form/-format is not explicitly set for them). All other usages would still work. It would still be possible to call: > scan `pick -from bob` I have implemented this for mmh and could port it to nmh. What do you think of the idea? Philipp
