$save_name doesn't "determine the target" (as I desired to do uniformly with my macro) -- $save_name allows the target to be defined as the sender of the selected message. If a mailbox with that name exists, the message is saved to that mailbox. If no such mailbox exists, the message is saved to $record. Why would I want to save incoming mail to $record, which holds my outgoing mail? What bearing would this have on my question, which was preventing the unhelpful default of save-to-sender from interfering with my predetermined mailbox path? $save_name is a boolean, defaulting to no. I just checked it both ways in 1.3.28, with and without a $record variable, and four-for-four, saving an incoming message defaults to the sender of the currently selected message. I believe you were misinformed about $save_name operating on incoming mail, and the docs are correct. -nat
