Replying to multiple messages
I really like the ability in mutt to be able to reply to (thereby quoting) multiple messages in a single response. Also, the threading of messages in wonderful. However, when I reply to multiple messages, often it picks up the "References" from a message other than the one I want, and subsequent replies are sorted under a different thread than I desired. Is there any way to specify which message should be used to set the "References" field? -- Bob BellCompaq Computer Corporation Software Engineer 110 Spit Brook Rd - ZKO3-3/U14 TruCluster GroupNashua, NH 03062-2698 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 603-884-0595

I wonder how something like this could be implemented? It would be quite unpractical to keep a list of tagging order or anything like that. Maybe something like "if the current message is tagged, use that as a reference"..? I have no idea how easy/difficult this would be to implement, although it certainly would be possible.

Re: Replying to multiple messages
Bob, et al -- ...and then Bob Bell said... % % Is there any way to specify which message should be used to set % the "References" field? In my limited experience, mutt figures its Refs: and I-R-T: fields from the first message in the tagged list, probably based on the current sort order. Thus, you could save all of the messages in question -- with the one you want as the reference maker *first* -- right back to the current mailbox and then tag-reply from *those*. The nice thing is that this doesn't break threading (though it messes up an unsorted view; I'd use ;C to copy them somewhere for working (and reordering) and then ;r to just write the reply flag, and even ;t to clear the tagging :-) % % -- % Bob Bell Compaq Computer Corporation % Software Engineer 110 Spit Brook Rd - ZKO3-3/U14 % TruCluster Group Nashua, NH 03062-2698 % [EMAIL PROTECTED] 603-884-0595 :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
