I have rediscovered that by selecting a previously read message, and doing a Ctl U on it, it turns it back into a new message, which also shows up as new on the ticker, as well as the account tree, and message folder. Another thought is perhaps making a small customized wav file, uniquely identifying that folder, which would automatically play when new mail arrived in that folder, thereby having audio notification in lieu of visual. One feature I would like to see implemented is an adjunct to what you mentioned previously. Let us say, for example, that mail is sorted by threads, and new mail coming in, is added to the threads or as new topics, which implies that the new mail is scattered throughout the message folder, perhaps to a point where one cannot even see the new mail that has arrived. This feature would be a key that takes you automatically to the next unread message. I find this an extremely fast way to go through new messages. Mutt, for example, uses the tab key (or any key mapped) for this function. -- Best regards, Gary ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
