No, it has never been there ... Since I was a long time user of Mush, I prepared a port, but never commited it, and switched over to Mutt long ago. > I don't need it much, but it had one nifty feature, the ability to > save a message to a file with the filename the same as the subject, modulo > a little cleanup for bogus characters. > > Very handy. Well, Mutt tries to emulate most of the features found in Mush, but seems to be of better code quality. (One reason that I gave up on Mush was its unreliability with the "unlimited number of mails" patch. Mutt never had a limit on the number of mails ...) > If somebody knows of some utility that can do this, it would be > appreciated. You can have my Mush sources (though it has been a long time since I last built a binary from them), or even a binary, if I manage to find it on an old backup :) You may want to check out the web pages at http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~me/mutt/ for a list of features supported by Mutt. But I already checked for the save options, and "save by subject" is not there, as of now ... But there are a number of people actively developing Mutt enhancements, and you may be able to talk one of them into adding that feature :) Regards, STefan
