Just saying loudly that it is "very clear" does not make it so. Not 'very clear' to everyone. Not all of us know all the uses of evaling things, in this case my aim was to try and learn more about what it meant by comparing eval with eval of my existing "snippets" of mail split phrases. Not to determine if it was a complete program. > Please read the fine manual. I imagine your patience is wearing thin on my ramblings, but it must be quite apparent that I *am* reading just about everything I can get my hands on including the nnmail.el file that covers this topic. And thesections in Info. The problem is that I am not understanding enough of it. So exortations to RTFM may not be all that usefull or pertinent. -- Harry
