- soon as you select it, or select them all at once.
- Use the 'h' command to see a command summary, or read

- %e the last command executed to extract an article.
- %E The number of extra (unselected) articles, not
- counting the current article (if selected).
- %U same as before (number of unread articles, not counting
- the current one) but if selections are on, only counts
- selected articles.
- %Z The number of selected threads.
-
- Macros and Keymaps
- When defining macros, make sure you don't define something that
- will conflict with the selection characters in the thread selector.
- An easy way is to exclude the thread selector with a mode test:
-
- f %(%m=t?f:|mail smith\n)
-
- Also, if you want to use one of the selection characters as a
- command in the thread selector, be sure to exclude it from the
- list of selection characters in SELECTCHARS (you can define this
- with -ESELECTCHARS=abc123 in your .rninit file).
-
- Miscellaneous
- ...and much, much more! (including various bug fixes!)
