Agreed. I didn't want to get too confusing :-) % % Esc-V #uncollapse all While that will work if they're already collapsed, it will cause problems if they aren't. Worse yet, if you have some collapsed and some expanded threads you can't get back to that state. Unfortunately I don't know of a truly portable way to solve this, but if you can assume threaded sorting, what works for me is a quick ou # s'o'rt unsorted T. # tag 'em all ;WN # tag-prefix clear-flag new ;t # tag-prefix tag ot # s'o'rt threaded to ensure that every message can get tagged. Meanwhile, you also have to hope that you didn't have any tagged for later attention, since by the end of this they won't be. But one can only set so many preconditions and still have things be useful ;-) HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
