I tend to collect various source from Usenet and, ala vnews, "archive" the source postings in mail folders. Building the source then requires saving off each posting in a separate file, stripping some text off the top and unsharing each file. I do this manually and was hoping to save some key strokes... Can anyone think of a way for mush to save the first n messages into "folders" with some unique *sequential* names (ex. the first 7 characters of the subject line). (or maybe someone will enlighten me on some other common way to build net source or some utility that everybody else uses) duane -- --- duane voth duanev@mcc.com ---- ALL systems are arbitrary! --- effectiveness is the measure of Truth --

It can untarmail tarmail files, etc... You can omit the whole step of saving messages to a file. There may be some shortcomings to this, so once it's available, you'll have to get back to me with comments. for the time-being, save -s is about the closest thing you've got. I typically use "save -s *" and end up with files named: archive_name_part_1_of_5 archive_name_part_2_of_5 ... and so on... long and ugly, but it works... --dan
