Make Message Bookmarks with mark
[previous]
[next]
[table of contents] [index]
Sometimes I need to make a "bookmark" in a folder -- to save a message number
that I can come back to later.
I usually use a sequence named here, though a different name might be
easier for you to remember.
The command version named here runs mark -sequence here -zero
to put the current message in the here sequence.
(Of course, you can use
different sequence and command names.)
To come back to the bookmark, use any MH command with the sequence
name.
For example, if I read a message that needs some research to answer,
I add a "bookmark" by typing here.
After I find the answers, I reply to the bookmarked message:
% show
...message appears...
% here
% ...read other messages...
% repl here
To make here as a version of mark, see the Section
Making a New Command Version.
To make an alias or function, see the Section
Writing Command Versions as Aliases or Functions.
Add this entry to your MH profile, or add the arguments to your alias
or function:
here: -sequence here -zero
The -zero switch removes any old message number in that folder's
here sequence.
You can make several different bookmarks by making several different
versions that use different sequence names.
