After talking to Michael Elkins for a little this pretty much seems like a bug.
It appears that mutt is moving new messages from my new/ dir to the cur/ (I am running Maildir). So this is why N randomly appears in front of the folder name. However, 5 minutes later Mutt (or not?) moves messages to the cur/ BUT it keeps the N flag on the message itself. mark_old is UNset same error exists with 1.3.25i 1.3.25-current-20020108i 1.3.25-current-20020110i 1.3.25-current-20020111i It this really a bug ? igor On Fri 11 Jan 2002, Igor Pruchanskiy wrote: > Hello List, > > It has been a long time since i posted questions here, because RTFM is a > magical thing.
