When looking over forw today, I came across the code that handles digests
(which I guess is the companion code to "burst"). So, I was wondering ...
do people use this? I'm not really suggesting it be removed, I'm just
trying to understand the use cases.
Wow, I remember using this command a lot back in the day when it was
real handy to string together a thread of messages in a digest for my
own consumption or to pass along to a friend. Mail and news readers were
a lot more digest-friendly in the Golden Days of Usenet.
I'd be hard-pressed to remember the last time I used it, or to
articulate a use case. Still, it would be good to keep, as you say.
I’d probably use it (or something like it) if there were a
convenient way to select several messages in mh-e and forward
them ;-)
Hi Jon, just select several messages and forward them :-).
The mark and point are used, so the messages do have to be contiguous.
