Odd, in my xterm session a double mouse click will provide that for copying. Capturing the address with the mouse is even possible in console mode with gpm active. I understand what you provided but you still have to access to designate a *particular* post containing a "From:" addr and the OP *specified* "by the *selected* message sender". [email protected] asked <quote:> I'd like to set up a macro which will set the <limit> to all mail sent by the selected message sender. I've looked in the docs and searched the web and can't find any information on how to expand something like ~f in a macro. Is this possible at all? </quote:> Maybe my reading comprehension is really failing as I still cannot see the requirement for a convoluted external script is necessary. If so I can claim 'oldtimer' challenged; next step a nursing home or a very small tombstone. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
