I finally reached the limit on folders (100) in MH. Is there any way to increase this limit? I got the inevitable message from "folders" saying I had too many. Thanks in advance, --chet--

I got the inevitable message from "folders" > saying I had too many. How about sub-folders? These are folders with slashes in the names, like: +reports/january +reports/february Just as UNIX has directories and subdirectories, folders can have subfolders (and sub-subfolders, and...). BTW, my favorite under-used MH operator is "@", the relative folder operator. For example, if your current folder is "proj/reports/january" and you want to move message number 3 to the folder "proj/reports/march", you can use either of these commands: refile 3 +proj/reports/march refile 3 @../march In fact, the "@" operator works just about anyplace you can use "+". --Jerry Peek, jerry@ora.com
