Not possible in that way, but what you could do is to copy the message (or attachment) to a temp file and then read it into joe (^K R). > Also, if anybody has any ideas why some punctuation marks--apostrophes, > quotation marks, etc.--are showing up as control sequences beginning with a > forward slash--I would appreciate it. A number of windows-based mail clients and mailing lists assume that the windows-1252 charset is the same as iso-8859-1 (the only difference I'm aware of is that w1252 has some extra charaters, like the so-called "smart quotes") or even us-ascii. I've just recently started doing something about these messages. For one list, I use a charset-hook in a message-hook. I.e., message-hook . 'unhook charset-hook' message-hook '~f spacedaily' 'charset-hook us-ascii windows-1252' There's another list with this problem which doesn't have a Content-Type: header. For that one I add it in procmail. I.e., :0 f * ^Sender:.*spaceupdate@SPACE\.COM | formail -a 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252' :0 A: Space -- Joshua 'bruce' Crawford ... http://www.geocities.com/mortarn "X-rays are a hoax." -Lord Kelvin, engineer and physicist (c. 1900)
