'whatnow' does that (well on my version comp pretends to be whatnow if whatnowproc is called whatnow - but that's a bug imho). >Well this is just no good.

That's what the -draftfolder and -draftmessage switches are for. I compose messages for later sending quite often using mh (well nmh). Not for doing automated script things I asmit (I just send as I go) but when composing a message which I wish to put off for a few hours/days. I've had more than one of these at the same time, and happily sent and recieved other mail in the meantime... -- Sam Holden
