If you set mark_old to "no" then unread mails will remain marked "N", but the directory containing the *new* (or unread) will only show it contains new mail until you have accessed that directory. The fine mutt manual really does explain this. If the directory contains mail with a date newer than the directory access date, it will show as having *new* mail. If the *unread* (or new) mail has a date *older* than the directory access date, mutt will not show that the directory contains new mail. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
