7. Happy refiling

When you come to receive hundreds of messages in a day (do not you believe it?), refiling messages becomes a very tough job. Mew neatly guesses default folders where the message is supposed to be refiled when you type ‘o’. You can see an example below.

Folder name (+work/mew-dist): +

If the default value in () is proper, just type ‘RET’. The messages will be marked with ‘o’ if its refiling folders are decided.

You can refile a message to folders of the same world to which the message belong. As described above, a world is identified by a combination of "case" and proto. When you input a folder to which the message is refiled, you must not specify "case" and you must input a folder whose proto is the same. The reason why you must not specify "case" is that the "case" is already known. With other commands, you have to specify the "case", if necessary, when you input folder name in minibuffer. This command is only the exception.

Mew also provides ‘c’ which is very similar to ‘o’. To know the difference, please refer to See section Refile ‘o’.

As you know, the more excellent refiling guess algorithms become, the less user's job troublesome. Mew provides you with the following rules.
