i'd use procmail instead as it is more the unix philosophy to let that program which is dedicated to mail filtering do the mail filtering, and mutt, the mail reader, do the mail reading. however, aside from threading and the tab key to skip between unread messages, i don't think mutt can filter or sort by message status. i usually just delete messages i read on mailing lists (they are archived), or move messages to a read folder when i took the appropriate action (reply etc...) martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- redistribution of this email via the micros~1 network is prohibited.
