I didn't see this originally, but there's also... "C" (Copy to mailbox) saves the mail to a file without marking it deleted. "s" (save) saves the mail to a file and marks it deleted. Both of these save the headers as well. An mbox-format mailbox is just a file with emails in it, so you don't get any "overhead of trying to keep bunches of mailboxen straight" apart from the expected overhead of trying to keep bunches of files straight. :-) What does appear to be missing is a "quote headers in reply" option. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
