Hi All

Is there a way to tag a list of messages that matches a header and then perform
an action (i.e. save) to the tagged messages in pine ?

I am using Pine 4.58 on Solaris 8

Thanks for any suggestion

Yes, enable [X] enable-aggregate-command-set. Make sure you read the help
associated to it. There are two parts of the process. First you select
messages that match a pattern with the ";" (or ":") command, and once you
have selected the messages that you want, you press "A" to apply an
operation to them.

  For example, "; A" will select all messages. Once you have them selected
you can press "A S" to save all the selected messages to a folder of your
choice.

  Make sure you read the menu in the bottom of the screen after you press
the ";" or "A" commands. All your options will be in the menu in the
bottom.

Hit Z.

That "zooms" between showing only selected and unselected messages.. (and
when you're zoomed in, just use arrow keys as normal to go between them.)

You may want to turn on:
            [X]  auto-zoom-after-select

which will probably work closer to how you want to work (when you select
messages, you then probably want to just look at them).

Though this option is kind of irritating if you are trying to select messages
one by one manually.. I end up doing ";c" (select current) once, going D'oh,
and then manually typing in a bunch/range of numbers the next time.

Matt,

 To select the current message use ":" instead. Pine won't zoom when you
select individual messages.
