I'm using mbox here. What I find is that when procmail stuffs a new
message into one of my folders, it gets marked as new and shows as such in
mutt but if I open that folder, read some but not all of the new messages
and change to another folder, the new flag is unset for that folder. I
might find myself scanning the various folders to see if there's anything
urgent / interesting for immediate reading and want to come back later to
read the rest but I have to remember which of the ten or more folders I
need to review.
For example, I can do a
touch -m Mailbox/name
which will mark it as new for mutt but I cannot do that for the current
folder/mailbox from within mutt. What I'd like is some way to either have
mutt do it automatically or set up some macro to do it (can I execute a
shell script with a macro and what do I use to pass the current mailbox
name to the script?).
TIA
