Another question along this vain is can you collapse message threads in Pine like you can with MS Outlook? I sort my index by ordersubject (I think that's what it is called) so I have the messages grouped together but if there is 30 messages for one thread, I cannot tell in advance how many nor delete them with a single command such as is mentioned below. -----Original Message----- From: Janina Sajka [mailto:janina@xxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 3:23 PM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Rolling My Own Yes, yes! This does the trick. I don't suppose there's anything so neat and simple for "delete and expunge messages with the same subject"? Guess that one I will have to roll? Thanks for solving this one, though. You've just sped up my mail reading big time! Much obliged.
