Actually, what you've described is one of the cases where Outlook is really useful, and I wish mutt had something similar. Basically, Outlook gives you the ability to "flag" a message, with something like 8 different colours. You then set up a virtual (search) folder which matches messages - say, blue flags only - potentially along with various other criteria (say, mail received in the last week). Bingo - it's nice and easy to process mail quickly, flagging some for later attention. I use this facility quite heavily. Unfortunately, mutt doesn't have the virtual folders, and it only has one flag. Off the top of my head, I think it should be *possible* to extend mutt to support virtual folders, but I don't see anyone doing the work in the near future... -- Paul
