Wow, I remember using this command a lot back in the day when it was real handy to string together a thread of messages in a digest for my own consumption or to pass along to a friend. Mail and news readers were a lot more digest-friendly in the Golden Days of Usenet. I'd be hard-pressed to remember the last time I used it, or to articulate a use case. Still, it would be good to keep, as you say. On a related note, I use burst on forwarded messages a lot to either promote the forwarded message to the scan line, or to reply to a forwarded message. -- Bill Wohler <[email protected]> aka <[email protected]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
