Mark as read and archive: macro works only in index

[Pétùr]

Hi,

I am using this macro to mark an email as read and archive it. The
mark as read is important because sometimes I don't open the email
before archiving.

macro index,pager a ":set confirmappend=no
delete=yes\nN=Archives\n:set
confirmappend=yes delete=yes\n"

The macro works but only in the index. It does not work in pager
(shortcut "a" not recognize).

How can I have this macro work also in pager?

Ah, now that's clever, it might well do exactly what I need in a way
that I can understand, thanks.

Thanks for that, it looks very close to the sort of thing I want to do.
