Thank you Monte, Christian, Gary and Noah. Embarrassingly i wasn't aware of <save-message>. I realize that the german explanation of its function (nachricht in datei speichern = save to a file) confused me into thinking <save-message> would produce some file "outside" of mutts mbox format. Monte's Macro is a nice find for me. I will keep my eyes peeled for the original problem of doubled messages anyhow. jan
