O, yes, sorry; I didn't explain fully. :tabnew creates a new tab with a new, empty, buffer. So, yes, you are right, it's because there is a new *buffer* that it keeps going and going and going; the fact that a new tab comes with each buffer is just coincidental. It might work if you used :tabedit which edits a file in a new tab, rather than opening a new file in a tab, i.e. :bufdo tabedit > I also had some "philosophical" questions in my post whose MID I > referred above (as in "Why tabs?"). I don't know how to search for a message by its MID, I'm afraid. Does google have a facility for it or something? Can you provide a link to the webpage view of the message or something? Cheers, Ben.
