well, that explains why i've always had ,NN files in my drafts folder, even though i have my own rmmproc which refiles messages. thank you. i've never cared much, because i've never wanted an old draft -- i usually have the text in my outbox folder, but i can see how that might not always be the case. rather than reusing rmmproc, i would suggest creating a new "rmdraftproc", or somesuch. it would certainly change my workflow in a surprising way if my deleted drafts started ending up in my deleted mail folder(s). paul =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected] (arlington, ma, where it's 36.5 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
