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.
I agree! | 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 :-) Let's avoid that ;) Well, just one remark: Mutt _does_ mark the fcc'ed mail as read. It's just that the mtime of the file is changed... So this is another debate... 'no new, no unread mail in the mbox (according to Mutt), but still new mail (according to Mutt)' ;-) | 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. But that was the problem: I want them in one mailbox, so I can view the thread ;) -- René Clerc - ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. -James Bond, "Tomorrow Never Dies"
