Thank you to Michael and to Tim for both suggestions. > > > T~U;Wn So, not being very familiar with much of mutt, I had some trouble getting this to work, until I realized that there needs to a bit of a lag between typing the ; and the W. So, the sequence is: T~U -> return -> ; -> Wn and this works very well. I presume that I can replace the Wn with d in case I want to delete all the unread messages? > > > > > > > > > <tag-pattern>~U<tag-prefix><clear-flag>n > > > > Wouldn't you need a <enter> before the <tag-prefix> to terminate > > input? Thank you! The following now works: macro index <F3> "<tag-pattern>~U<enter><tag-prefix><clear-flag>n" However, F3 is a bit too risky in my view. I want to bind it to a Windows or an Alt key. How do I do that? I tried <A-r> but it did not work with using <Alt-r> Many thanks again, and best wishes, Ranjan
