If there isn't an article open, you can do that - with code - from the summary buffer before you fetch the field. If there is no article buffer and no summary buffer it is hard to think of a use case and moreover it will be hard to determine, in a way that makes sense, what mail or post the user refers to when hitting the command. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
