If you do not know before-hand, make a single-key <F7> for the > index to limit the display to matching mail, then exercise your macro. imagine i have a macro that applies multi-filters and puts mail into different mailboxes. currently i have to press ,q and then all the way to ,i. of course, there are also macro's that i would like to archive. obviously though, macro 1 if it fails or not, should not stop the other macro's from firing, but this is the behaviour i see (eg: 'Nothing to do' and it stops after macro 1 - or macro 2 if macro 1 processes but macro 2 fails) etc etc. I assume you get the idea :) regards and thanks Stef (btw, not a problem about the reply offlist, accidents happen :)
