I don't think it should. What happens when new mail arrives? If nothing happens in particular, then this is a bit useless. If messages that should be muted are tagged, then this interferes with the normal operations in a mailbox (the user may want to tag messages for another purpose, so that no tagging should be automatic). If something needs to be done, I'd rather see an improvement of the pattern system, where one can have pattern variables, and some functions to operate on these variables (this would include saving them and reloading them). Then you could use tag-pattern or any other function that works on patterns, possibly via a macro. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
