Is there any way to execute msg commands in your .msgrc? For example I want to delete all mail from uucp in order to just see my 'real' mail. In msg I: <- delete from: uucp Thanks in advance -- Richard L Dean richardd@uokmax | Opinions contained herein probably University of Oklahoma | don't reflect those of the Engineering Computer Network | University of Oklahoma.

Richard,
Nothing in .msgrc will do what you want, BUT putting the following line
in your .maildelivery will work:
From uucp file A /dev/null
This will take all mail with "uucp" in the From: header field and put
it in the file /dev/null (i.e throw it away) and NOT deliver it to your mailbox.

An entry in your .maildelivery file to get rid of any mail that has uucp in the from line is: From uucp file A /dev/null Beware, because if the from line looks like this: From: Thomas A. Buucpat <tab@seito.MMCS.MIL> it won't get to your ^^^^ mailbox. For the others on wizards, he is using msg which is part of the MMDF (Multi-channel Memo Distribution Facility). It is an excellent mailer. Dennis -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis G.
