Minor remark: I bind ^D (ctrl-D) to delete thread; "D" is already bound to
delete pattern.
This doesn't prevent me from accidentally moving these messages twice,
eg when the first mails in a thread are deleted using 'd' (and are
marked deleted accordingly) with a subsequent use of 'D' the entire
thread, including the messages that got deleted already, gets saved to
the trash folder again, causing duplicates.
Is there a way to execute above scripts only on messages and threads
whose status is not 'deleted'?
I would do 3 things:
- leave the first macro alone; it is hard to point at a deleted message (mutt
tends to skip the the next undeleted message), so personally if I were on a
deleted message and pressed "d" I'd want it to just do it
- look at the $delete_untag setting, which clears the tag on a message if you
delete it
- modify the second macro, eg (untested):
macro index,pager D
"<tag-thread><untag-pattern>~D<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>=INBOX.Trash<enter>"
That should tag the thread, untag any deleted messages, then move.
Actually, I would extend that macro to flush any existing tags as I presume you
don't want to delete "the thread plus anything else that happened to be
tagged". So:
macro index,pager D
"<untag-pattern>~T<enter><tag-thread><untag-pattern>~D<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>=INBOX.Trash<enter>"
Another note is I split my macro like this into two, thus:
macro index D
"<untag-pattern>~T<enter><tag-thread><untag-pattern>~D<enter><tag-prefix><save-message>=INBOX.Trash<enter>"
macro pager D qD
i.e. inside the pager the macro just exits to the index and then runs delete
thread.
Again, I recommend using ^D instead of D for this macro. Your call, obviously.

I beleive such true and profound statements are NOT allowed to be posted
in this newsgroup, and are also against the charter. You've been warned.
