deleting and undeleting

[Manuel Arriaga]

Hi everyone,

Once again proving myself a total newbie :-), I would like to know whether there is 
anyway in which I can undelete a message which "sits" in the middle of 10 other 
deleted messages, without having to undelete the first four - does this make any kind 
of sense to you?

Thank you for any tips,

Manuel

You can use the next-entry and previous-entry functions, bound to
K and J (yes capitals) by default.  These do not skip deleted
messages.

Just type the "number" of the message and mutt will "jump" to it. Then,
hit your "d" key.

Yes, they do on my computer too.

Use capital J and K (shift+j, shift+k) instead.

 Thank you for any tips,

to delete, say the 10th message,

press "10" (without the " )
Press "u".

Read Mikko's message again.  He said,

K and J (yes capitals) by default.  These do not skip deleted
messages.

To reiterate, lower-case (i.e., small) j and k do skip deleted messages;
upper-case (i.e., capital, i.e., the ones you get by pressing the Shift
key) J and K do not skip deleted messages.

he specifically told you to use capital letters, which work.
