>Is `scan +/tmp/foo' documented anywhere, i.e. the ability to treat any >directory as a folder, not just one under Path? And `@..' after that.. Doh. Was planned but slipped my mind. Here are revised versions.
1) Insert into nmh.1 near: Commands which take a message number as an argument ( scan, show, repl, ... Commands which take a range of message numbers ( rmm, scan, show, ...) something like the following: Commands which take a folder name (inc, refile, scan, sortm, ...) will accept the folder name in two formats: '+folder' and '@folder'. '+folder' specifies a folder underneath the Path defined in your nmh profile e.g; with the default '''Path: Mail''', '+folder' tells nmh to use ''~/Mail/folder''. '@folder' specifies a path relative to the current folder specified in your ''context'' file e.g; with '''Current-Folder: inbox''', and the same profile, '@folder' tells nmh to use ''~/Mail/inbox/folder''. If folder begins with ''.'' or ''/'' when using ''@folder', the folder is interpeted as a specific path to a directory on the filesystem rather than a relative folder location e.g; scan @.` scans the current directory, and `refile @/tmp` refiles into the temp directory. 2) It might also be worth insertng into the CONTEXT heading of the relevant commands (inc, refile. scan, sortm, etc.) a blurb along the lines of: The current context is used to expand relative folders supplied with the prefix ''@'' instead of ''+'', by prepending it to the specified folders; unless folder begins with ''.'' or ''/'' in which case the argument is interpreated as a specific path to a directory. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
