I believe the current format engine doesn't have this capability; you're not given any information about sequence membership when you're in the format engine. Although I had thought about including the index of the message being displayed; e.g.: scan 7-9 15-17 would give message "7" an index of 1, message 15 would have an index of 4 ... you get the idea. I was thinking about that because I wanted to be able to have alternating bold/hilighting on scan output, but you could use it for that as well (with some limitations, of course). But it occurs to me that it you had the message index and you had relative messages, it would make the Previous Sequence a lot more useful. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
