Subject: marking as new

I need to know how to find out how to mark messages as new messages rather
than having the marked as already read, how can I accomplish this?  I used
to know but didn't make a note.

I'm not sure if you need the "aggregate command" set for this.
The command to change flags is *, at least as I have PINE configured.

Ummm, a long command

; c a * n   (select/current/apply/flag/new)

If you want to select more than one message, well don't specify
Current.

BTW, you must have the 'enable-aggregate-command' flag set
(setup/config)

L8er, norbert.

Too many keystrokes for one message! To change the flag status for the current
message, from either the pager or index, "* n" or whatever flag you like.

>If you want to select more than one message, well don't specify Current.

Suppose you want to change the flags on all read messages:

; s ! n (select status not new)

This is confusing: The flag command under select is called status! I hope that
his is changed in version 4.

To change the flags back to new:

a * n (apply flag new)

Several flags can be changed: important (proprietary to pine), deleted, or
answered. Of course, deleted can be reversed with undelete.

pine only sets the "answered" flag when you reply to a message while it's still
in you inbox. If you've saved it to a folder, you must set the flag manually. I
hope this is fixed for version 4. Can the answered flag be seen by other mail
readers, or is this proprietary?

Important shows a "*" in the index. But, it gives you more flexibility to
select.

>BTW, you must have the 'enable-aggregate-command' flag set (setup/config)

You also need to activate the option "enable-flag-command".

Hi Adam.

Thanks very much for the update - looks like I should have a glimpse
into the online help again, I'm way off :-)

Cheers, norbert.
