I don't have a terminal with mutt at the moment, but AFAIKS you need a tag-prefix or ';' in front of your s to make it work. If you look closely, it should have saved exactly one message (not necessarily one of the tagged ones) to =archive - I think. HTH HAND /dossen -- This is a personal problem.

'push tag-pattern~s test234entertag-prefixs\Ca\Ck=isomerica/archive\n' if no message matches ~s test234 it does always save the last message to the archive, so this would have to be changed to _only_ apply _if_ any message is tagged (or is there something like delete-pattern for saving? Anyway, I don't want to do this anyway, and not even sure if it's of help to the OP, so no need on my part to pursue this further. m. HTH HAND /dossen -- This is a personal problem.

We can then map this rule witha key too ? If you are using maildir (I guess MH could work too, but may take a little more work, and mbox would take the most work), you could rather easily write a short shell script to accomplish this. True, it wouldn't be within mutt, but if you want to you can certainly bind it to a key combination to invoke it from within mutt. Hint: ls new cur | wc -l should get you far. -- Michael Kjörling ..

We can then map this rule witha key too ? Well, it's no so much a rule as it is a trigger. For example, you could use a folder-hook. If you want to do things based on the *number* of messages, then you're going to have to play some creative games. I can't think of a way to get it to trigger only when there are 150 messages, but I *can* think of a way to make sure that there are only the most-recent 100 messages. Since the concept of most-recent relies on the sorting order, we're going to use a combination of changing the sorting order and the ~m matching pattern. For example, we can use a hook that will: 1. Save the current sort order 2. Sort the messages so that the most-recent come first 3. Tag all messages after the 100th message 4. Save all tagged messages into a specified folder 5. Restore the original sort order Such as this: folder-hook . 'enter-commandset my_savedsort=$sortenter\ enter-commandset sort=reverse-date-receivedenter\ tag-pattern~m 101-enter\ tag-prefix-condsave-message=fooenter\ sync-mailbox\ enter-commandset sort=$my_savedsortenter' You can, of course, bind that macro to a key instead of a hook if you prefer. ~Kyle - -- No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows. -- J.
