Hi,

Even if there was, it wouldn't really be a feasable option. Because, what you are in effect asking for is for Mutt to look into your folder, see if the mail is from you or not, and accordingly tell you (in the browser) if it has new mail or not. That would involve quite a bit of unnecessary overhead, especially if the said folder is a particularly big one. Even if you did setup a macro to do that, you would have to _enter_ the folder, and hence the browser will not show you if you have new mail in that folder no matter who sent it - Yes, now we're back to the 'New vs. Unread mail' debate :-) Your best option I guess, would be to just put your sent mail into a 'sent-mail.<friends-name>' folder, or some such, and exclude this from your 'mailboxes' list.
