I hadn't tried this in awhile but I just tried it here and it still worked, so... Multi-select the groups you want[1], THEN do "Get Headers..." =:^) Alternatively, use the macro-replay ability of your DE, I know KDE at least has the ability to setup either hotkey- or mouse-gesture-triggered key sequence macros, along with pan's keyboard functionality. This was the idea I intended to post when I hit reply, but then I remembered pan's multi-select functionality and decided that'd be easier. --- [1] Multi-select: The usual shift-click-range, ctrl-click-toggle- individual-item-select, works. Or the equivalent ctrl/shift-arrow keys along with space to toggle if using ctrl-. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
