Peanut Buttons
The Peanut viewer has a button for each mail file on your peanut working directory. The actions are as follows:
Left click => copy the selected message to the mail file.
Middle click => open the mail file.
Right click => move the selected message to the mail file, and proceed the cursor.
Select messages just by putting the selection anywhere in the body.
It is handy to keep a mail file just for deleted messages (it is easier to move a message than to select it all and delete it); naming this file something like "000" puts it at the front of the button set, where it is easy to find.
Click "NewMail" to get new mail; the messages get appended to "Active.mail" on your peanut working directory. Active.mail will be opened up with first levels only and the first new message scrolled to the top.
Click "SaveAll" to save all the currently open mail files.
The easiest way to create a new mail file is to copy an old one and delete the messages that you don't want. This assures that the document will have the right style.
