Hi, I just noticed that mark_old works a little bit different in mutt 1.1.9. Maybe there is now a new feature that I am missing. I have unset mark_old in mutt 1.1.9. Now when new message arrives, when I open up mutt, and then close it without reading, next time when I come back, the message has still got a N as its flag. But if I press change folder, to display a list of mail folders, it will not show a N in front of the folder. I remembered this is different in the older versions. So how do I make mutt to show a N flag in front of the folders if it contains old unread messages. Thanks. Regards, Shao. -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Shao Zhang - Running Debian 2.1 ___ _ _____ Department of Communications / __| |_ __ _ ___ |_ / |_ __ _ _ _ __ _ University of New South Wales \__ \ ' \/ _` / _ \ / /| ' \/ _` | ' \/ _` | Sydney, Australia |___/_||_\__,_\___/ /___|_||_\__,_|_||_\__, | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |___/ _____________________________________________________________________________
