The view would consist of three windows, with the following layout: _____________________ | | | | Headers | Groups | |__________|__________| | | | | | Selected mail | | contents | |_____________________| ie. You could select from a groups buffer in the upper right window, and you'd get the corresponding headers buffer for that group in the upper left window. Selecting a header there would show the mail in a message buffer in the larger lower window. I know it would probably not be too hard to script the view, but I believe it would be worth including this sort of overall hierarchy to the default views. Unless of course, this feature is actually something a 5-year-old would manage to configure blindfolded while doing cartwheels along a rooftop's outer edge, in which case I apologise for even bringing it up, but would appreciate some hints on how to accomplish it. :) Regards, ------ Matti Koskimies Fishpool Creations Ltd msk@fishpool.fi Innopoli +358-400-438055 Tekniikantie 12 http://msk.nocrew.org 02150 Espoo matti/irc.esper.net Finland
