I have two cmd aliases set up as follows: cmd f 'folder \!* ; set record=$thisfolder' cmd g 'folder $HOME/News/\!* ; unset record' I usually do 'f +blah' to change folders. This sets things up so that when I reply, a copy is kept in that folder rather than my "+outgoing" folder (which is the default). Occasionally, I forget that this has been set up and I explicitely do a 'FCC: +whatever' where <whatever> is the current folder AND my record folder. I seem to get several mush processes competing for the lock on that folder. None of them seem to succeed. If I exit that folder (I still have a mush prompt), that process ALSO tries for the lock. A ^Z often causes a core dump... [ This is with a recently patched to 7.2 under SunOS 4.1. (Mushtool also dies at various places too. I haven't tracked that down.) Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm about to try the emacs-18.55 fix on mush... ] I'm posting because I'm rather curious how others manage their outbound mail folders? I hate cleaning the 'test messages' out of my outgoing folder, yet half the 'important' messages I send are from the shell prompt, so I don't dare do 'if !sending' (or whatever the syntax was...) -- :!mcr!: | The postmaster never | - Pay attention only Michael Richardson | resolves twice. | to _MY_ opinions. - HOME: mcr@sandelman.ocunix.on.ca + If that doesn't work, try: WORK: michael@fts.ocunix.on.ca + fts1!michael, mcr@doe.carleton.ca
