As far as I understand, Gmail does not behave this way. I have been using OfflineIMAP and mutt with Gmail for several years now, I have not noticed this behaviour. That said, there is one limitation though. Gmail does not allow two operations on the same sync per message file. What I mean is, if you change the contents, as well as the file name, only one will succeed, usually the content change. This happens when, say, you rethread a message while reading it, rethreading alters the content, reading alters the filename. Essentially any maildir operation would change the filename, and anything that rewrites the message file, like a postsynchook, rethreading, will rewrite the contents. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Thanks, Derek. This is all very useful information. Would it be possible to do the following? Let's suppose that the goal is just to make the message is read in only one other mail box, called "All Mail". 1. parse out the message ID from the selected email 2. store that in a variable (for Mutt) 3. change mail box to All Mail 4. find the message in that mail box that has the message ID stored in a variable in (2) 5. mark that message as read 6. switch back to the mail box I was on before (e.g. Inbox) Is that feasible? Kind regards, Xu

Many thanks, Rejo. I believe this does do what I was asking for. This helps me understand more of how Mutt works (especially learning about setting the resolve). Kind regards, Xu

There's no way to do this in Mutt proper... it does not have the ability to perform operations across mailboxes, generally. I was going to suggest a way to do it per-mailbox, by tagging the messages and then marking them read, but there are only thread-level commands for this--and the only other way I know of to do it is to remove the new flag, but that command is a toggle. You might find a solution for this in GNU Mailutils, or you could probably whip up a script in Python using one of its standard modules for e-mail, but I can't really give you more details than that. -- Derek D.

Use procmail or similar to filter your mail. Here's a quick'n'dirty hack to do
the job (and to encourage others to make it different/better):
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
if (/^Subject:/) {
@test = split;
@test = grep !/\[.*\]/, @test;
$newsubject = join (" ", @test);
s/^Subject:.*/$newsubject/;
}
print STDOUT $_;
}
Just pipe the mailheader through the script.
You could also do something hackish like that within a procmail rule:
:0fh
| perl -pe 's/^Subject:\s+(.*)\[Mailinglist-tag\]\s*(.*)/Subject: $1$2/; '
The first one could also be "enhanced" to decode/encode UTF and the like, if it
should be necessary, e.g. something like that:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Encode;
while (<>) {
if (/^Subject:/) {
if (/\s*\=\?iso-8859/i) {
$_ = decode("MIME-Header", $_);
@test = split;
@test = grep !/\[.*\]/, @test;
$subject = join (" ", @test);
$newsubject = encode("MIME-Header", $subject);
# $newsubject = encode("iso-8859-1", $subject);
s/^Subject:.*/$newsubject/;
}
if (/\=\?UTF-8/i) {
$_ = decode("MIME-Header", $_);
@test = split;
@test = grep !/\[.*\]/, @test;
$subject = join (" ", @test);
$newsubject = encode("MIME-Header", $subject);
s/^Subject:.*/$newsubject/;
}
else {
@test = split;
@test = grep !/\[.*\]/, @test;
$newsubject = join (" ", @test);
s/^Subject:.*/$newsubject/;
}
}
print STDOUT $_;
}

mark as read all messages with message ID
Hello all, In the pager or index, I would like to mark as read every message in all mail boxes with the same message ID as the email that is highlighted. How can I do N to every such message? If you are curious about motivation, it is because GMail treats labels as different folders. So when we sync back, to have a message marked as read in GMail, it must be marked as read in all labels (or in Mutt's point of view, folders). Best regards, Xu
