The `.' key binding is recent. It may not be there in VM 8.1.1.
Okay. I've always used 'a read' or 'a whatever'. I just stumbled
I like [the fairly recent] headers only mode for imap folders.
What about for local folders? That would help for some of my larger
local folders, especially for load/save operation times (especially
over nfs) and searching based on header contents (rather than body
searches).
This might help

M-s is a wonderful search tool for a vm folder, but it searches the

Indeed. Some, not much, often with mismarked encoding.
