That's not quite true. `b' will (would) hide only the body.

The internal mechanism is distinct because it does a different thing. The original code drew a distinction between header visibility, body visibility and message-as-a-whole visibility. I agree that visually there is no difference between 'header and body hidden' and 'message hidden'. It's possible to have only the header visible, which I've yet to find a use for. The code works as I intended, though I'd agree that may not be the desired behaviour :-) Given that I've never used `b' other than in testing, I'm not worried about it going away. dme. -- David Edmondson, http://dme.org
