[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Clearing body section of messages window

usenet@nlm.nih.gov (usenet news poster) (05/22/91)

	The problem is that whwn I delete and purge a message from
	within "messages", it will continue to exist in the body section
	of the messages window.  It would be nice to have a "clear"	
	option as with the Send/Post window so as not to have a message
	always appearing in the body window while "messages" is open
	(spying eyes, ya know (-:).

	Can something like a "clear" option be configured into the
	"messages" program or one of its menus?

What I ususally do in such circumstances is "Check New Messages" (the
^X^A keystroke), which clears the body, among other things.
