Mutt inserts a "flag" into each message header according to your configuration. If you examine the header of a message flagged as "old" you will see "Status: O" near the last header line. Since you had previously used mutt configured to "mark_old" and mutt did as it was told, you must those messages which have already been flagged. To do this: T~O;N Enter the above characters and the entire visible listing will have the "old" flagged messages changed to "new". > Maybe I didn't describe myself clearly, so make you misunderstand? > Sorry for my bad English. Yes, you have made your problem clear. But once the "new" messages have been marked/flagged as "old" changing the configuration will not automagically change them back to "new". The key sequence I displayed above "T~O;N" will change the entire current mbox file. And since you have set "mark_old" to "off" or "unset", you will not see this happen any more. I hope I have made this clear for you. :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
