+cgi_anchor_name "aggregate">[cgi_bold "Operating on a set of messages"]</a><br>
+
+cgi_p
+Operating on a set of messages is referred to as [cgi_italic "aggregate operations"].
+The way you perform aggregate operations is by placing a mark in the checkbox on
+the line associated with the desired message,
+and then choosing the operation to perform such as deleting or setting
+other message flags, or saving them to a folder.
+
+cgi_p
+The set of aggregate operations are either hidden or exposed. When
+hidden you will see a <img src=../../images/slideout.gif style="vertical-align:middle"> tab on the left edge of the line
+containing the sort names. Click the tab to expose the aggregate
+commands and the checkboxes next to each message. Similarly, when aggregate operations are visible, you will see a
+<img src=../../images/slidein.gif style="vertical-align:middle"> tab on the line containg the sort names. You can click this
+tab to hide aggregate operations.
+
+cgi_p
+When aggregate commands are exposed, the set of commands available is either
+simple or complete. The simple set consists of only the ability to [cgi_bold "Delete"]
+messages. When the simple mode is in effect, you will see a [cgi_bold "Delete"] button
+and next to it the <img src=../../images/tabmore.gif style="vertical-align:middle"> tab
+above the column of checkboxes. Click the <img src=../../images/tabmore.gif style="vertical-align:middle"> tab
+to expose the complete set of commands.
+
+cgi_p
+When the complete set of commands is visible, a <img src=../../images/tabless.gif style="vertical-align:middle">
+tab will be on the sort name row. Click it to return to the simple aggregate command set.
+
+cgi_p
+The complete set of aggregate operations adds an additional display line above the sort names row.
+It contains the [cgi_bold "Flag"] and [cgi_bold "Save"] commands. The choices above the checkbox column will change
+as well into a dropdown list of alternative methods for setting or unsetting checkboxes.
+
+cgi_p
+There are three ways to mark a message when the complete mode is in effect:</p>
+<ul>
+ cgi_li "Select the checkbox next to the message or messages
+ cgi_li "Perform a Search using the [cgi_bold "Search/Mark..."] menu
+ cgi_li "Select [cgi_italic "Mark All"] from the [cgi_bold "Search/Mark..."] menu.
+</ul>
+
+cgi_p
+Lastly, the dropdown will offer a [cgi_bold "Zoom"] option. Choosing it will change the Message List by
+hiding all of the unchecked messages from view. This is useful, for example, to examine a Search result
+that may have marked only a few messages in a large folder.
+
+<!-- <p><i>{<a href="">Click here</a> to enable or disable aggregate
+commands from this page. [not implemented yet]}</i></p> -->
+
+cgi_p
+cgi_anchor_name "delete">[cgi_bold "Deleting Messages"]</a><br>
+When you see the [cgi_bold "Delete"] option in the upper-right corner of
+your Message List page, to delete messages:
+<blockquote>
+<ul>
+ cgi_li "Select the checkboxes next to the appropriate messages
+ cgi_li "Select [cgi_bold "Delete"]
+ cgi_li "Select [cgi_bold "Expunge"] to remove the messages from your folder
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+
+When you are showing all of your aggregate operations (i.e. you
+will see the [cgi_bold "Search/Mark..."] menu and the "Set Message Status" and
+"Save Messages" operations), to delete:
+cgi_division style=
+<ul>
+ cgi_li "Select the checkboxes next to the appropriate messages by either
+selecting them individually or use the [cgi_bold "Search/Mark..."]
+menu options
+ cgi_li "Select [cgi_bold "Flag"] messages as Deleted
+ cgi_li "Select [cgi_bold "Expunge"] to remove the messages from your folder.
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+
+cgi_p
+If you do not see checkboxes to the left of your messages, all of your
+aggregate operations are hidden. Click the tab to the left of your column
+sort names to show [cgi_bold "Delete"], then click the tab next to [cgi_bold "Delete"]
+if you want to see all the aggregate operations.</p>
+
+<!-- <p><i>{Do you want to Expunge without being prompted for a
+confirmation? <a href="">Click here</a> to change that configuration
+option. [not implemented yet]}</i>
+cgi_p
+{<i><a href="">Click here</a> to enable aggregate commands to have
+this option available on this page. [not implemented yet]</i>}</p> -->
+
+
+cgi_anchor_name "save">[cgi_bold "Saving messages to another folder"]</a><br>
+"Save Messages" is only available from your Message List page when all of
+your aggregate operations are showing. If you do not see "Save Messages"
+on the top right-hand side of your page, some of your aggregate operations
+are hidden. Click the tab to the left of your sort column headings to show
+all of them.
+
+Select the checkboxes next to the messages you want to save to
+another folder. Alongside the [cgi_bold "Save"] button, type in the name of the
+folder to which you want the messages saved. The folder name can be one
+that already exists, or you can create a new folder by typing in a new
+name. If you have folder collections, select the correct one using the
+dropdown menu. Select [cgi_bold "Save"] to save the message(s) into the folder
+you have typed.
+
+cgi_p
+The messages in your current folder that you have saved to another
+will be flagged for deletion.</p>
+
+
+cgi_anchor_name "flags">[cgi_bold "Setting status flags"]</a><br>
+Immediately to the left of your message numbers is an underscore
+reserved for your status flags:
+cgi_button_list {
+ cgi_li "[cgi_bold "+"] message sent directly to your address (your address was in the To: line)"
+ cgi_li "[cgi_bold "*"] important message"
+ cgi_li "[cgi_bold "A"] answered message"
+ cgi_li "[cgi_bold "N"] new (unread) message"
+ cgi_li "[cgi_bold "D"] flagged for deletion (additionally the subject line will have a strike through it)"
+</ul>
+
+cgi_p {
+ Select the underscore to go to a page where you can set or unset any of
+ your message status flags.
+}
+
+cgi_anchor_name "search"
+cgi_puts {
+ [cgi_bold "Searching"][cgi_nl]
+ You can search through your messages in your Message List using the
+ [cgi_bold "Search/Mark..."] dropdown menu. If you do not see the menu
+ (to the left of your sort column headings), some of your aggregate
+ commands are hidden. Click the tab in that area to show more commands.
+}
+
+cgi_p {
+ Select one of the menu items under [cgi_bold "Search/Mark..."] to
+ find messages:
+}
+cgi_bullet_list {
+ cgi_li [cgi_italic "...by text"]
+ cgi_li [cgi_italic "...by date"]
+ cgi_li [cgi_italic "...by status"]
+}
+
+cgi_puts {
+ Specify your search criteria on the next page. After you make your
+ selection, you will return to your Message List and the checkbox will be
+ selected for those messages found in your search.
+}
+
+cgi_p {
+ If you want to display just those messages that were found in your
+ search, next select [cgi_bold "Zoom"] from the [cgi_bold "Search/Mark..."] menu list.
+ (Be aware that if you had other messages checked for selection before your
+ search, they will also be included in your zoomed view).
