Thanks! I am a bit unclear about this. Where should $mark_old be set? And to clarify, I am only asking for the messages saved when I save a sent message be categorized as new if I do not read it (through mutt), not every read message. (My understanding from what I can see is that messages that are sent by me go to the MAILDIR/record/cur folder, with a :2,S without going into MAILDIR/record/new folder.) > > But the thing is, Maildir format has a pretty specific idea of what's > "new", and it's a little different than Mutt's concept of "new > messages" > > "The new subdirectory stores messages that have been delivered to > this > maildir, but have not yet been seen by any mail application" > > https://www.courier-mta.org/maildir.html > > So I understand somewhat your reason, but, based on my limited > understanding of the Maildir spec, I think you're asking Mutt to not > follow the Maildir spec properly by doing this. > > /w I do not quie see how I am asking the Maildir spec to not be followed here.
