I don't know how to do that, but 'unset resolve' should stop the
cursor advancing, so that you just have to hit 'u' to undelete it
rather than the message number to get the cursor back and then 'u'.
Not ideal, but a start.. :) It's set on by default.
resolve
Type: boolean
Default: set
When set, the cursor will be automatically advanced to the next
(possibly undeleted) message whenever a command that modifies the
current message is executed.
That's mutt 1.0. I don't know whether 1.1 has a 'save to somewhere but
don't delete it' option. I have downloaded it and not yet installed
it. Can anyone tell me how stable mutt's definition of 'unstable'
is? Some beta/unstable things bomb out on me continually: others
I have been surprised to discover were considered unstable as
they've run beautifully for me. I would like to try 1.1 and I haven't
seen any "Mutt ate my email" messages, so it's tempting.. :)
