I use the New and Old flags to keep track of items as a todo list. Messages get marked read when they are ready for being moved to my mbox. A new message that hasn't been read is marked "N". If you leave that flag and quit, mutt changes that flag to "O". When you Tab through messages, you go through the N messages, then O messages. Either counts as unread. If a message comes in and I read it, but need a reminder, I keep it around flagged O. Since that prevents mutt from moving it to my mbox, I have to either open the message or manually remove the flag. That workflow works for me. Glad you're enjoying mutt so far, Ross
