I guess what would be needed is a %O printf-like sequence for folder_format. There doesn't appear to be one according to my muttrc manual. > Looks to me, mark old only happens in (email) index view. That's my understanding as well. I'll take this opportunity to disclose that this proposed feature is not something I'm interested in using. I thought the 'old' flag in the index view was neat at first but I prefer that the message retains the 'new' flag if I haven't looked at it. Now that that's out of the way... best of luck to you. I don't know how difficult it would be to implement this feature but if I did want it I'd probably try to find the %N flag for folder_format in the source and go from there. I've already snipped the top of your original comment (sorry) but if the reason behind your request is that you have prematurely left the folder because you were not aware of the presence of additional new messages, you could try using the 'next-new-then-unread' command, which for me, is bound to <tab> . If a new message isn't found with this command you can leave the folder, confident that you have left no stone unturned (assuming you don't wait too long to leave the folder). -- Monte
