As I understand it (I've never used mutt with IMAP, but I have worked with the code for $mark_old), this isn't exactly true. The messages will still be marked as old, but when $mark_old is unset mutt will totally ignore that and consider old messages as new. If you set $mark_old before entering an IMAP folder any messages that had previously been seen will still show up as old. Note the variable must be set before entering the folder, since with the standard mutt code the flag is ignored as messages are parsed. I submitted a patch to change this (along with splitting the two meanings of $mark_old) awhile ago, but it hasn't been accepted. -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~aarons/ What kind of head of security would I be if I let people like me know things that I'm not supposed to know? -- Garibaldi
