Ah interesting; I didn't notice that function until now; unfortunately, it only works for the "important" flag and has the side effect of moving to the next message (I guess that's a feature). > > I wish the set-flag and clear-flag functions would be available in the > > "pager" key bindings map. > In some way, those functions are already available from the pager, > via macros like that: > | macro pager w <exit><set-flag> "set a status flag on a message" > | macro pager W <exit><clear-flag> "clear a status flag from a > message" Hmm that's not very practical; I simply want to toggle a flag, not stop reading the message. :-/ These are certainly helpful workarounds, but it seems to me it would be very natural to have "clear-flag" and "set-flag" available in the index; just like "flag-message" is available from both the index and the pager. Wouldn't it seem natural to you as well? Thanks for the suggestions, -- Loïc Minier
