Subject: TAB does not detect new messages in incoming folders

Hi,

I don't seem to find answers to the following from the archive.  Can
someone help?

1. I recently added my own filter rules (using 4.43) so that matching
messages will be moved to one of the Incoming Message Collection folders. In 
INBOX index, hitting TAB when cursor is at the last message, it loops thru 
the folders "Checking XXX for recent messages" and eventually "No more 
incoming folders" is displayed.  However, it does not flag or display 
messages with new or important flag in any of the folders there.  If the 
folder is opened then hit TAB, then TAB works for messages in the current 
folder. (note this is not the same issue of enable-circular-tab Eduardo has 
a patch for.) Tried on Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.7 and 2.8.  This makes it pain to 
get new messages by opening each.  (I'm filtering to about 20 folders!)  It 
sounds like this is working for some ppl.  Whats the trick?

(my primary inbox is pop3, while the other folders in the incoming msg
collection are plain files on nfs, local or remote)

2. I want to use the select cmd to select messages matching all the
alt-addresses for to: and cc: (receipients)  ie. select messages directly to 
or cc me (+ and - marked in index view if mark-for-cc is enabled).  Is it 
possible?

3. Filter does not seem to match if the messge is missing a header field. 
eg. match from-pattern=[email-masked] AND subject-pattern=abc
The message with the from and subject matching the above but do not have a 
"To:" in the header, then the filter fail to match the message.

4. Can I expunge current message?  (with an anonying 2MB attachment, but 
don't want to expunge all with D flag)

TIA
P.Rocher

[Sorry about the no-new-content msg I just sent; I composed the
msg below in my alt editor (gvim) and then did a write and quit
(:wq) and came back to PC-Pine and pressed ^X. At that moment I
noticed that my message wasn't in the Message Text area.... seems
like a bug but I don't know if I can reproduce it!]

Make sure this is unset

 [ ]  enable-fast-recent-test

Does that help??

> or cc me (+ and - marked in index view if mark-for-cc is enabled).  Is it

One of my sample commands in this list

 <http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/pine/#samples>

on my main Pine page does this for +.

 W + CR W ^X Z
 (note CR = carriage return)

 display a virtual folder of all messages in the current folder or
 newsgroup that contain your email address, or one of your
 alt-addresses, in the To header

This isn't exact because it matches any index line that contains
a +.

Another thing you can do is set up indexcolors using MSRI to
color index lines that are to or cc you.

Not that I know of but it would be nice to have a "delete &
expunge" command in addition to delete (D) and expunge (X).

Hope this helps,
Nancy
