i've tried that, but it doesn't work. it will tag all messages in the
mailbox (not just the one's shown).
for example, when i open my temp box, i get this mutt header:
Mutt 0.85e: =temp (threads) [27/27] [N=0,*=0,post=0,new=0]
which shows 27 of 27 messages with 0 tagged. when i limit on those
messages that are cc'd to mutt-users i get the following:
Mutt 0.85e: =temp (threads) [2/27] [N=0,*=0,post=0,new=0]
which shows 2 of 27 messages (0 tagged still). now if i do a "Tall"
command i get this header:
Mutt 0.85e: =temp (threads) [2/27] [N=0,*=27,post=0,new=0]
which shows 2 of 27 messages, but all 27 are tagged. it's not until i
do a specific tag on each message that i get the desired results:
Mutt 0.85e: =temp (threads) [2/27] [N=0,*=2,post=0,new=0]
which shows 2 of 27 messages, with only the 2 messages tagged.
perhaps the newer versions of mutt handle this better... i'm in the
process of upgrading from 0.85e.
any other suggestions?
