I had not thought of this yet. I can see how it would work. I will try  
this until balsa has that ability. I don't mind mutt. Years ago I used  
elm and pine. I just like the simplicity of balsa.

I managed to set up mutt to open the folder where I keep my debian  
digest messages. We shall see how much fun it is...
