Sharon, you can indeed do that for conversations. However, modern clients can show you each conversation automatically, and one delete command will erase the entire thing. No need to manually enter the search, delete the messages you find, exit and re-enter the inbox, and do the whole thing over.
Tom, imap is far better than pop if you use even two machines to manage email (I use 3, so imap is indispensible). No, there is no way to avoid writing in computer braille in keyweb, so replies and forwards would have to be done in that code. However, you can easily send messages from keymail - that usually works - so you may be writing less computer braille than you think. Besides, computer braille is easy once you get the hang of it. Unfortunately, you can't just write the message in a document and paste it into the email, because hw has never seen fit to fix the pasting into edit fields bug that has been with us since ks5.1 (thanks again, hw).
