So once I've done a "show 55399" and read the email ... How can I ask the
"next" command to show me "next in the sequence named 'star'" ?
I thought this was possible, and ... it is! Check out mh-sequence(5),
but here's the key bit:
The specifications "name:next" and "name:prev" may also be used, and
they designate the next or previous message (relative to the current
message) which is an element of the user-defined sequence `name'. The
specifications "name:first" and "name:last" are equivalent to "name:1"
and "name:-1", respectively. The specification "name:cur" is not
allowed (use just "cur" instead). The syntax of these message range
specifications is subject to change in the future.
The closes I've found was "show star" ... which works, but not optimally.
I have to go searching for the "next message" indicators, and I have to
scroll through a whole lot of useless MIME. I really prefer reading my
email messages one at a time.
I have to ask ... do you not use mhshow(1)? Because that should really
suppress a lot of the "useless" MIME. We tried to make the defaults
work sensibly for modern email messages.
