`;` in the index view is typically bound to <tag-prefix>, which applies the following command to all tagged messages. The exact semantics of this depend on the command in question and possibly your configuration. You probably want either `t` for <tag-entry> or `T` for <tag-pattern> first. (<tag-entry> is a toggle, and <tag-pattern> is additive. There is also I believe by default Ctrl+`T` for <untag-pattern> which is subtractive.) Your key bindings may of course be different, if you (or your system administrator, if applicable) have reconfigured them. Try `?` for <help> to see what functions and key bindings are available. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se
