 My point was, if the MTA adds a message-id, it will not be missing.
 
 But if yours doesn't, it's obviously not a problem.

My point is, Mutt is my MTA and my MUA. I use Mutt's builtin IMAP, POP, and
SMTP. The emails I get from specific spammers have no message-id and that is
unique and if I can killfile based on that I will have eliminated another
category of bastards.

forgotten commands

2014-12-21 Thread Bob Holtzman
After returning to my computer after an extended absence I find I have
forgotten several cli commands for mutt among other progs.

After many searches including the mutt manual I've turned up nothing.

I would like to mark a *lot* of unread messages as read, but can't
find the command(s) for this. The closest I can come is to unflag a
thread using ^t^ but this command yields no action at all.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Try to put the following line into your .muttrc:

macro index .c T.*\nWN^T.*\n Mark all messages in folder as read

After restarting mutt and switching to the folder of your choice,
pressing .c (a dot and then the letter 'c') should mark all messages
in that folder as read.

Or w/o making a macro,
  switch to the folder
  T.  to select all
  ;N  to toggle the READ flag

ie: T.;N

and all selected will be not new

You may be thinking of the limit command, l.

After an l amazon only those messages matching
amazon will be listed.  You can then T tag
all those messages and apply other commands to
the tagged messages by preceding the command
with a semicolon ;, for example ;s to save
the entire group.
