By default mutt automatically changes the N flag to O upon leaving a folder. You can disable this with 'set mark_old=no'. This will also cause mutt to treat any messages that are flagged as O on disk as if they are actually marked as new (including possibly writing them back as new). This can be fixed (since IMO it's broken) with a patch I maintain: http://www.schrab.com/aaron/mutt/patch-1.3.28.ats.mark_old.1 -- Aaron Schrab [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.schrab.com/aaron/ "Nuclear war can ruin your whole compile." -- Karl Lehenbauer
