Sigh. Well, here's the answer, sports fans. Upon close inspection of my .muttrc, I noted that I'd changed my folder_format (manual reference 6.3.43) from the default setting to "%N %8s %d %f": i.e, I'd eliminated the display of the tag flag, the *. So, tagging was working, but the * to show it was not.
In my effort to streamline the file folder display, I outdid myself. Moral here? RTF.muttrc, John ;( Cheers John On 10/19/01, 12:10:13AM -0400, John P.
