Searching Through Messages

If you find that you do the same thing over and over when editing the search template, you may wish to bind some shortcuts to keys. This can be done with the variable mh-pick-mode-hook, which is called when M-s (mh-search-folder) is run on a new pattern. The string mh-partial-folder-mode-line-annotation is used to annotate the mode line when only a portion of the folder is shown. For example, this will be displayed after running M-s (mh-search-folder) to list messages based on some search criteria (see the Section Searching Through Messages). The default annotation of "select" yields a mode line that looks like:

 -- %%-{+inbox/select} 2 msgs (2-3)      (MH-Folder) -- All----------------------
