I want to *avoid* all this complexity, I simply want a command which will scan through all my incoming mail mailboxes and take me to the ones which have messages marked N in them. OK, it'll be a bit slower than the (default) way that 'c' works but it will not be dependent on operating system quirks which may or may not change the access times in unwanted ways.
Have you consideres storing your emails in maildir format? I think it will be easier (even faster) for you to do what you want. -- Ivan Sichmann Freitas GNU/Linux user #509059 SDF Arpa Member http://isf.sdf.org/about.html
