This way to are only able to go from one folder to a specific other one. That's right. The same one. From the one in the index to the same one in the mailboxes screen. That's the way I want it. When I go from the index to the mailboxes screen, I want the cursor to be on the folder whose index I was just looking at, the same way when you go from looking at an email in the pager to the index, you get the index corresponding to the folder the email was in. Without these macros, change-folder?tab always puts the cursor back on the first mailbox, usually the spoolfile. So folder-hook =tn 'macro index h c=whatever mailbox #2 is in you example' would do the same, right? No, this would put you in the index screen not the mailboxes screen. It would be the index for mailbox #2, which is just =tn in my case, so would do nothing. I use the mailbox screen to work through the new emails I get in order. It gives me a rough idea of how much new email I have. Another good thing to have would be numbers of mails like there are in the index, but I am prepared to do without. -- Greg Matheson Learn a third language Chinmin College, Taiwanand be born again again [EMAIL PROTECTED]
