Help!
In an effort to organize my mail and process it more efficiently, I
picked up on combinations of "pick" and "save". So, wanting to save
summaries from Sun-managers, for example, I type
pick -i -t sun-managers | pick -i -s summary | save ~/mail/sm-summ
and I'll process it as a folder later. Typing this in "mush" works fine.
However, I use mushtool for 99.999% of my mail processing. So I defined
a function key to do the above as follows:
fkey F10 "pick -i -t sun-managers | pick -i -s summary | save ~/mail/sm-summ"
Now the problem. When I hit F10, I indeed get the summaries saved as
requested, but mushtool CRASHES with "IOT trap" error.
Is this an error? Did I screw something up in building mush? Or is this
kind of thing illegal from mushtool?
BTW, I'm using Mush 7.2.0.
Send stuff to me and I'll summarize (I hope).

It's hard to know what went wrong since you didn't provide a stack trace. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with what you've done. Unfortunately, I can't test it at the moment. Bill, Truck? Have you guys tried this? --dan
