I have a number of folders with a over a hundred messages. At this point it requires a fair amount of time to change to one of these folders. I don't want to delete the messages but I would like to have the 'older' messages moved to another folder. For example, I have a folder 'sun-support' used to hold communications with Sun support. It has, naturally, become very full :-). For this and others I would like an automatic way to move messages to another folder, for example, sun-support.OLD. Does elm have a way to accomplish this? I haven't seen one but have missed other useful features in the past. If elm does not support this type of capability, is there other software which does? Is this the sort of capability that could be added to elm??? Thanks, Milt Milt Ratcliff pe-nelson.com Cupertino, CA

I am not sure what you mean by automatic, but... There is always tagging the relavant messages and then using the save command to save all of the tagged messages. Elm does not have the ability to tag messages by age, nor do decide on its own to do this. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.
