You can write ('w') or clear ('W') any flag you want. In addition, you
can toggle the new flag with 'N'. See 2.3.1.1 in the manual and your
index help screen for more info.
hmmm... on my mutt (1.3.28i) I don't see that. What I use is N -
toggle-new.

Thank you. Toggle-new, when applied to new email, is exactly toggle-read!

Re: toggle-read?
A macro to toggle all new email as read, if anyone is interested:
macro »·index»··\Cr»··»···T~N\nN\Ct.\n»·Mark all new messages as read
The middle N part is what I was looking for.

good point. I do believe the original question was how to mark as
read which, to me, means not new :)
heh, guess the perl moto applies to mutt as well :)

Right, and that's what it means to me, too. He seemed happy enough with
the result, though I personally don't see why doesn't just set $move or
at least $mark_old if he's going to mark everything new as read ... I
think he could learn about some new flags :-)

You betcha / I agree wholeheartedly / Quite right, old chap :-)
