Yes, of course. Tag all messages (T .*), and then remove N flag from all of them (W N). Here's macro binding it to .c sequence: macro .c "T.*\nWN" "Cath up" Best regards, -- +[: phaust (at) users.sourceforge.net :]+---+[: http://www.phaust.z.pl/ :]+ +[: the slPIM project - addrbook 4 mutt - http://slpim.sourceforge.net/ :]+ +[: GPG fingerprint: B7F4 4602 FAF3 00B3 C5FE B13C AD0F BD23 366E EE42 :]+ +- Eat Healthy, Exercise, and Die Anyway ...

The latter performs a regular expression match against all messages, while the former just selects everything with no further criteria. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago

* Stefan Schwandter [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010318 20:35]: is there a way to quickly mark all messages in a mail folder (similar to do a catch up in a newsreader) ? Try adding a macro like that in your $HOME/.muttrc: macro index \ec "T.*\n;WN;WO^T.*\n" "catch up" This should clear all 'N' and 'O' indicator flags on ESC-c. Best regards - Juergen.

T.enter;^R That is: T.enter Tag all messages matching '.' (means all of them) ;^R Mark all tagged messages (threades) as read (that's ctrl-r) Finally you can untag all the messages with ^T.enter -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 1024D/68388EE66FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6 PGP signature

There are equal fast because of a little hack in the code (in the function mutt_check_simple in pattern.c) which checks for "." and converts it to "~". or ".*". The latter performs a regular expression match against all messages, while the former just selects everything with no further criteria. Yes, that's true for ".*".
