Subject: Unzoom back to where I was previously...

Is there some trick (besides remembering the message # and typing it in)
to be able to quickly get back to a message I was reading after I search
for something else/zoom in?

For example, I do a
w<whatever>^X
to quickly find something, then want to get back to where I was reading
through my mail.

I guess I kind of wish there were a way to unzoom back to where I was
before.. though I can't think of a reasonable way to do it in my 10 seconds
of thinking of it.  (Though other times, I've thought that having some
purely optional and really power user features handled by the _case_ of the
command you type would be good..  e.g. "Z" unzoom normally.. "z" zoom back to
where you were before you auto-zoomed..  Not for "real" users, only for
power users.)

I do not have any direct answer, but this is my work-around:

I always have several windows on the machine where I read mail. I have
created an INBOX file in mbx format, which means that pine transfers my
incomming mail to that file. With INBOX in mbx format it is possible to
open several pine sessions at the same time, and that is what I do. If I
read something in one session, I can check for something else in another.

It works as a charm.

Well, yeah, I can do the same thing with IMAP (and do -- I use IMAP
BECAUSE I think email is the perfect "client server" example -- I don't want
the stuff stored locally... and with IMAP I can't accidentally trash my mail
by having multiple clients connect at the same time)..

But if I wanted to go that far, I'd probably just use a GUI mail reader.
(If there were good IMAP ones..)

Thanks anyway.
