It is so even when you don't read _any_ (not even new) mail in that folder.
Merely opening the folder sets a flag.
I don't know whether that's a mutt or IMAP feature, but it's a
feature rather than a bug.
If it's up to mutt, a filed wish might produce an optional behaviour.
Otherwise hack your server to do as you like or make a new IMAP
standard. ;)

So I want to have something embedded in the "who are you?" message that can point my script back to the original "so-and-so wants to join" message from Yahoo!, so I can reply to that. How about just a long random number? This works, but you'd need to store the valid random number someplace. It occurs to me that you could also include the original Message-ID as the "random number". Sorry I wasn't clear. I don't want a random number. I want to find the message that Yahoo! sent to me, notifying me that someone wants to join, so that I can reply to that message to approve the membership. For example: Msg 1: Yahoo! to me: "So-and-so wants to join list X." Msg 2: Me to So-and-so: "Who are you? (cf. msg 1)" Msg 3: So-and-so to me: "I'm So-and-so.\n> Who are you (cf. msg 1)" Msg 4: Reply to msg 1 to approve membership. Is there a fast way to find a message with a given Message-ID? If so, that would work.

It seems like a combination of the two. If I view the folder in one instance of mutt, then open up a second instance of mutt on another computer, the folder doesn't appear in the list of folders with new mail (other folders with new mail do however). However, if I open up the folder in a different mail client, such as thunderbird, mutt still shows the folder as containing new mail (unless thunderbird marks all the mail in the folder as read). So it appears there is a flag being set on the server, but that it is something mutt itself sets on folder entry. I guess I'll need to take a look and find out what mutt does on opening an imap folder.

Configuring sendmail on Mac OS X (Leopard)?
I have two Macs, one at work and one at home, running OS X 10.5. I'm using nearly identical .muttrc files on both, using sendmail to send outgoing messages. On my work Mac, this all behaves just fine. On the home Mac, Mutt says "Message sent." but the message never arrives. Both are running Mutt 1.4.2.3i. Is there some way to trace the outgoing message to see where it's failing? Any tips on configuring sendmail on the Mac? I didn't have to do anything on the office Mac ... it just works.

Of course not - it's a *pipe*. :) In the example: cat foo | somecommand somecommand has no way of ever discovering what or where foo is.

One way to find the answer to such questions is to use mutt's help facility. Just type ? to bring up a list of the commands available from the current menu, then browse or search that list. In this case, searching for "search" would show you / search-reversesearch backwards for a regular expression HTH, Gary
