Gary, below is my original question:

To recap, if I tag the thread and invoke ;s
I get the following response
"Save tagged to mailbox ('?' for list): =tim"
If I back up the cursor and enter "~/save-thread.txt",
mutt creates a mailbox named save-thread.txt
That is not what I want.
-----------------------
Please tell me how you would save the entire thread to one file.
Clearly I am not using the correct command.
thanks
