Perfect!!! $ show star:next is exactly what I wanted. Thanks. > >I have to > >scroll through a whole lot of useless MIME. > > I have to ask ... do you not use mhshow(1)?

The biggest problem I have with mhshow (and this is probably the subject of a second thread) is swapping the mhshow-show-text/html option between "lynx" and "graphical browser" depending on where and how I am reading email (possibly depending on the email itself). I'm just an old-timer text-only kinda guy, and I'd rather read equal-sign-ecrusted plain-text sections of email than go through the overhead of opening an X window. Change is bad. Everybody knows that. :) --hymie!
