I had no idea that Scheme was not a scripting language specific to Evolution (the User's Guide gives no hint one way or the other). Had I seen this hit, I would probably have ignored it. "Scheme" means so many things. I searched on something like <evolution scheme language> (with another term or two. I did that because searching for a common word like "scheme" alone seemed hopeless. The same would have been true for a search on "evolution" alone. Naming progams for common words is not the cleverest nor the most helpful idea. > Perhaps you meant "how do I use Scheme in Evo"?

Perhaps it's in the User's Guide, which I intend to read more thoroughly. Probably other options are also found there, like selecting subsets of the message list. Thanks again.
