What he was suggesting (which was so excellent that I forgot that it might not be a default) doesn't interfere with that. I suggest using folder-hooks to set collapse_unread on those lists and folder-hook . 'unset collapse_unread' to take care of everything else, assuming you've done the sanity-preserving thing and procmailed those high traffic lists into their own folders: # Sort away mails from the mutt (mail user agent) mailing list :0: * ^TOmutt-users@ muttin # ;-) -- There are two kinds of egotists: 1) those who admit it, and 2) the rest of us. - fortune Robert I.
