This may be documented as a bug, but take this: MUTT is working locally with a mirror of what it read off the server. Unless you sync with the mailserver, the actual flags on the mail server are not the same as the ones you see on your screen. You have to send your new flags back to the server before they change on the server. If you copy a message to another folder, mutt will just ask the server to move the message, without (probably) loading it locally first (why transfer a large message to mutt over a dialup connection only to stick it back on the server?). So the flags on the server will still be unchanged unless you have $ynced. I can't really tell, but I suspect this is the case since I am dialling up to my workstation via SSH and therefore have a 100mbps link to the mailserver at all times. -- |-Simon White |-Internet Services Manager |-MTDS S.A. |-tel +212.3.767.4861 |-fax +212.3.767.4863 |-14, rue 16 novembre |-Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco
