Guys, I've been a long time user of VM, and I use it to read lots of email, including a couple of very high volume mailing lists. I'd like to usually just delete most of the email, but then go back and un-delete any emails and threads where certain people have written. My way to following only the generally good discussions.
So how would I go about doing this? I guess I could setup a Macro in Emacs itself to go about doing this, but that seems clunky and error prone. The basic idea would be: 1. Delete all new emails. 2. Mark all emails from any of the email addresses listed in ???? 3. Mark all threads those emails from 2 are in. Or mark all emails with the same subject as those found in 2. 4. Un-delete all those emails. 5. Clear the marks. Any hints? My elisp-fu is horribly non-existent. Wrapping my brain around lisp is just never going to happen. Sorry. :-) John
