CompuServe Messages

Tom, Arley and I do similar things, but I like messages in "thread" sequence, so my command string is op;sm n;s;rtn instead of Arley's op;sm n;s;rn "RTN" tends to result in replies to messages being close to the original, which makes reading and (offline) editing somewhat easier. My defaults are to Never stop, so I sometimes must do the reverse: op;sm a;s;ri nnnnn so I can read an individual message and reply to it online. But my most common command sequence is RT nnnn ONLY;RT mmmm ONLY . . . which reads message nnnn and all replies, the reads message mmmm and all its replies, _but_ reads no other messages. This is how I selectively read only message threads of interest without having to read all messages (difficult and/or expensive in busy Forums) or individually read every message discussing a topic of interest.
