I think this action (the result of "M P S") should be done automatically by "X u". What good is it to try to uudecode one fragment of each series? Lars> Yup.

I read the above paragraph several times and it still doesn't make any sense to me. What does your reasoning have to do with whether to save killed mail groups so that they can be inspected with "A k"? -- Joe Wells
