sure, have to go read specs, what's the correct behavior, I still think the logical way is to leave unread messages in new/ folder, no matter whether they're brand new or old (in terms of mutt), ..., they're simply unread and therefore new, ... someone knows what the specs says, btw: could the qmail suggesstions even be considered specs, imagine you're coding that program and you have to go into new/ to see brand new messages and then search through cur/ to see which messages are considered old (unread), you'd go crazy I think, remebering those "nice" old day of int21 in m$dog... am I the forst who is missing this functionality in mutt ??? can't believe it.. > > -- > Thomas Roessler http://log.does-not-exist.org/ > thanx, martin -- 2CC0 4AF6 92DA 5CBF 5F09 7BCB 6202 7024 6E06 0223
