Subject: Catchup shortcut ?

Hello.

Is there a way to define a "catchup" shortcut in Pine, almost like the
'c' key of Gnus ?

I mean, when I want to mark all articles in a folder as `read', I have
to select them (; a), flag them as read (* , remove flag unread). As I
am subscribed to a number of mailing-lists, repeating this operation is
quite boring.

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas.

I have this option, but it only works for newsgroups. What I would like
is the ability to mark _mail_ folders as read (all articles read),
without deleting mails.

I have some ideas for how to do this but first I have a question
for you: Why do you want to do this? If it is so you can
distinguish what arrived since the last time you viewed the
mailbox, you could do the following:

1] Add IMAPSTATUS to your index-format and then only new messages
   will be marked with an N. Old unread messages will be marked
   with a U.

2] Set incoming-startup-rule to one of the "recent" options.
   Here's what I use:

            Set    Rule Values
            ---  ----------------------
            ( )  first-unseen
            (*)  first-recent
            ( )  first-important
            ( )  first-important-or-unseen
            ( )  first-important-or-recent
            ( )  first
            ( )  last

Hope this helps,
Nancy
