Subject: Old messages

How do I remove the old messages from the index screen of Pine ?

I tried the "x" command, but that doesn't work.

Let's see if I can ask the question differently.

In "nn", I type capital "X" and that tells the machine that 
I have finnished with all those messages and don't want to 
see them again.

What is the equivalent command in Pine ???

Thank you
Clint

Do you mean, 'd' on each and every messages you want to delete, and then 
'x' to expunge?

HTH..

D will mark a message as ready for deletion and then X will eXpunge all
messages tagged as deleted. 

Also when you leave Pine you'll be prompted to expunge deleted messages ? 
unless you turn the prompt off in the setup/config screens

Make sure that enable-aggregate-command is X'd in Setup.Config
and then while viewing the index, type this:

  ;aadx

If you're viewing a news group, the messages will be marked read
in your .newsrc.  If you're viewing a message folder, the
messages will be deleted.

Good luck,
Nancy
