Thanks Rejo, I'm glad that I'm not the only one that would see this as a valuable feature. For now--per Michael's suggestion, I have covered most of the cases with the following macros: macro index <return> <display-message><sync-mailbox> macro compose y <send-message><sync-mailbox> macro pager q <exit><sync-mailbox> This doesn't cover N -> O flag changes but at least I'm not losing reply and read flags.
