[comp.sys.sun] PREserve command in Mailtool?

km@mathcs.emory.edu (08/16/90)

When I use mail, I prefer to have "set hold" turned off so that mail I
read automatically falls into my mbox, and use the "pre(serve)" command to
hold mail I want to stay in the system mailbox.

Mailtool, does in fact use "set hold" compatibly with mail, but there
seems to be no preserve command. Am I missing something?

Several people have replied telling me that preserve is available in the
"misc" menu. What I should have included originally, was that I'm using
the Open Windows (xview) version of mailtool, that has no misc menu.

It looks like some of the sunview mailtool functionality has been left out
in the port to xview.
