Subject: tab for recent messages only

Hello.

The normal behaviour of the tab key in a folder is to visit unseen or
important messages. Is there a way to change it to only visit recent
messages ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Eduardo. Thanks for your response.

According to the help text, I see :

"Setting this feature causes Pine to skip the messages flagged as
important, and select unread messages exclusively. Tab behavior when
there are no new messages left to select remains unchanged. "

What I was hoping to see is "tab select recent messages only, leaving
unread and important messages unchanged". This could be usefull for
example when reading high volume mailing-lists folders, where sometimes
messages subjects do not catch my attention.

However, this is not really important, as I can select all messages and
flag them as read before leaving a folder.

Actually, Nancy McGough already gave the solution. I found it in the
archives. I think I have misread this mail, so, Nancy, I really
apologize.

Using "IMAPSTATUS" in the index-format makes the new (ie. recent) mail
check really easy to handle. No need to mark all mail as read.

Sorry for the noise.
