BTW, you can bounce your saved copy to mutt-users (perhaps after tweaking your address, if you use a specific one as I do) to avoid the extra layer of quoting and resultant confusion. Forwarding, and particularly inline forwarding instead of MIME forwarding, gets ugly fast. % ----- Forwarded message from chris ----- % > % > * Am Tue, Apr 09, 2002 at 03:45:02PM +0200 , schrieb Michael Tatge: % > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) muttered: ... % > > > I start mutt with the -y option to see which mailboxes contain new mails. % > > > If I enter a mailbox which was marked with a "N" , all mails in this So you do see an 'N' in the browser view, then. % > > > mailbox are marked with an "O" instead of an "N".

And these are marked with an "O" % > instead of an "N". Understand ? So you had, say, messages one through four in your mailbox. When you return, they as well as a new message five are all marked old, even though you've never before laid eyes on message five. Correct? If so, that is quite interesting. Do you ever see 'N'ew mails in any folder? Are you using procmail or any other filtering software which might be writing a Status: or X-Status: header? What type of mailfolder are you using? For a folder =mybox, what do you see when you run "ls -lF $MAIL/mybox"? What if, assuming it's an mbox folder, you (after first copying the mailbox to a temp mailbox to avoid corruption!) edit the file and remove any Status: and X-Status: fields you find and then run mutt on that folder? Are the messages still old, or are they finally new? % > Or are the mailboxes opened when starting mutt with -y ? That would % > explain why mutt thinks the mailbox was opened before. No, they aren't; see the oft-recurring "why doesn't mutt tell me I have new mail?" and "can mutt tell me how many new mails I have?" discussions for more on this.
