i recently switched over to mh from Mail and have a few questions:
1. i want to save a copy of ALL my outgoing mail. analagous to the
"save" option for Mail in .mailrc
2. i also us rn and would like to be able to save articles in a format
that can be used by mh. i already use the option that saves articles
as discrete files, but they are not mh format. i used to use the
rn option that saved articles in an amorphous file (by newsgroup),
which let me view them with Mail.
thanks,
-- jdm

My .mh_profile has comp: -form /usr/ed/.mh_signature repl: -fcc +outbox -editor /usr/ucb/vi -nocc all -filter repl.filter which puts a File Carbon Copy of all my outgoing mail (except forwards, I guess) in my outbox folder.

Just in case various people might find this useful, I thought I'd post my little macro: @m |sed -f .mhstrip|rcvstore + You complete the invocation with the folder name to store the article in. The file .mhstrip resides in my News directory (%p in rn-ese), and has the following contents: --- cut here --- /^$/,$b /^From /d /^Relay-/d /^Posting-/d /^Path:/d /^Article-/d /^Lines:/d /^Xpath:/d /^Xref:/d /^Distribution/d /^Date-Received:/s//Date:/ /^Approved:/d /^Expires:/d /^>From:/s//From:/ /^From:/s/From: \([^ ][^ ]*\) (\([^)][^)]*\))/From: \2 <\1>/ /^Subject:/s/:/: (Net)/ --- cut here --- Many of the lines are optional, and just get rid of junk that I don't want to see, but the three `From' lines are necessary, as is the Date-Received line.

When I used rn I made the following in my ~/.rnmac file: # inc an article into an mh folder. note that !! commands seem to be # executed in the /usr/spool/news/%c directory i %(%m!=n?!!inc -file %a :) It probably won't work if you use rrn. But in that case you could adapt the function I use under gnews: (require 'mh-e) (defvar gnews-mh-default-folder "articles" "*Default folder for gnews-mh-save-article") (defun gnews-mh-save-article (arg) "Save current article in gnews-mh-default-folder, or prompt for folder if ARG is non-nil." (interactive "P") (shell-command-on-region (point-min) (point-max) (concat mh-lib "rcvstore +" (if arg (mh-prompt-for-folder (format "Save in folder [+%s] +" gnews-mh-default-folder) gnews-mh-default-folder t) gnews-mh-default-folder))))

After adding the following line to your .rnmac: s s|rntomh %C %a^J (uparrow-J seems to work here) Typing 's' cause the current article to be stored as the last message in the folder news. Note that I also use -N (non-mailbox format) with rn. Not sure if this is important. Craig

So this saves articles in Mail/<newsgroup>/<article_num>. Then every
so often, I sortm the folders.
