Subject: 'New' messages

Is there a way to 'remark' a message as being new after it has been 
read?  I would like to read messages from home using pine in the evening, 
and leave them as new so that Eudora will allow me to re-read and manage
them on my PC the next morning...

Thanks.

Jim

	Yes.  From the index display you would use the * (Flag) command.
You need to be using pine 3.90+ and you need to have the enable-flag-cmd
set in your configuration.

My apologies for side-comments about unadventurous people...  I had
forgotten that the "flag" command had to be enabled in the Configuration
Setup screen (and to use the Select and/or Apply commands you'll also need
to enable the "aggregate command set" option there).

(I'm constantly amazed at how unadventurous people are... :-)

Pine very helpfully displays a menu of commands at the bottom of the 
screen.  One of the commands that's shown is "O" for Other.  This 
modifies the menu to show you other commands (the ones that wouldn't fit 
on the first screen).

Pressing this a couple of times with a message selected/being read shows 
the "*" (Flag) command.  Using this lets you set the status of a message 
pretty much as you like (including back to "N" (New)).

Useful hint: if you have a lot of messages to do you can almost certainly 
use the ";" (Select) command to choose them according to some criteria, 
and then "A" (Apply) a "*" command to the selection.

    You can also get in the habit of opening your mailbox read-only,
meaning Pine will not write anything to indicate that the message is no
longer new.  The command  pine -o  does this.  The drawback to this is
that once the inbox is opened, Pine no longer bothers to check to see if
any new mail has been received during the time you are reading; however,
all messages that were ``new'' when you started Pine will stay that way,
which is what you want when reading from home.

Something you could do is activate the "read-messages" folder.  You can 
do this in the Setup/Config option (3.91).  This will move your read msgs 
to a new folder located in the ~./mail directory.  The msgs get moved as 
soon as you leave pine (well, actually it will ask you for it, I just 
have those options to be runned automatically).
Hope that helps.

c.u,
    Jorge.
