- If you are running the windows version of MAIL, there is a way to keep
- messages in Newmail until you decide to move them. In the RECEIVE options, turn
- off the "automatic refile opened messages to MAIL folder" option. As you
- read messages in Newmail, they will stay in the Newmail folder until you move
- or delete them.
-
- BTW: This function does not work in character cell MAIL even when the option
- is set in windows MAIL.
