Except when it's synonymous with "oh, heck, I don't want to deal with this now." That's when I want something to be "old" instead of "new" or "read", and to stay "old" between instances of mutt -- but for "unread" messages to stay "unread", without becoming "old". Oh, well, I can't have everything I want. :) -- -D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] NSIT University of Chicago
