Mark thread as read and advance to next unread?

2001-02-26 Thread James Snow

I've finally come up against something in Mutt that I can't find a way
to do.

I follow a lot of mailing lists and often encounter a large thread that
I'm not interested in. Previously I'd have just hit control-D to toss
the whole thread. Recently, however, I've decided to keep everything for
my own archival purposes. It's immensely helpful to have them around to
search through.

When you delete a thread, you're advanced to the next non-deleted
message. Is there any way to have ^R advance to the next unread message?

I tried binding ^R to 'read-thread next-unread' but Mutt doesn't seem to
like keys bound to more than one action.

I'm sure there's a way to do this, so, what did I miss? :)

I use

macro index F1 read-threadnext-newcurrent-middle
macro pager F1 read-threadnext-newcurrent-middle

You gotta do it as a "macro" rather than a "bind"ing

Duh! :)

Fantastic. Thanks very much.
