You can do it manually on the fly as already mentioned, or set your default sort behaviour: set date-received -- ~pete

Running Running 1.3.28i under Solaris 8 Where can I find out more about the push command to tweak it to my own tastes? Thanx The push command assumes that your bindings are the same as mine. I've been meaning to modify it for a while to: folder-hook trash push 'delete-pattern~r14d!~Fcr' Which doesn't assume anything about bindings. Actually I was using the same binding, but this generic one is better. The problem was that that I seem to need to use enter instead of cr. Dunno why. Actually I prefer to be interactively asked b4 nuking the marked messages upon entering the trash folder, so I am just leaving the enter off. Thanks again

Is there an equivalent of % trash, or am I truly out of the disneyland GUI world now and % just like using rm on files, there's no going back. With the stock version, that's the way it is. [-- snip --] Other folks have in the past whipped up some macros that bind 'd' to actually save to some other folder where you *then* really delete the messages later. I have been using this setup for over a year, and it works great: ## Delete messages to the trash can rather than bit-bucket, unless ## we're in the trash folder. folder-hook . macro index d save-message=trashenter folder-hook . macro pager d save-message=trashenter folder-hook . macro pager D delete-message folder-hook trash macro index d delete-message folder-hook trash macro pager d delete-message # When we go into to the trash folder, tag stuff greater than 14 # days old. Don't mark anything that's already flagged, though. folder-hook trash push 'D~r14d!~F\n' Thus, in all folders except trash, 'd' moves the message to the trash folder, and 'D' deletes it for real, when I'm viewing the message (in the index, 'D' still maps to delete-pattern). Every few days or so, I go into the trash folder to clean it out (I save 2 weeks worth of trash). Hope that's helpful. Darren, Thanks for the tip.
