My apology for not being clear. When I said it was an unread message
it was actually a message marked as "O" old state. What I want is to
check every message in the mesage index and to remove the "O" state.
Pressing the N key changed the "O" old state to "N" new state, and
then the index moved to next line. I have also to move the index back
to the current line and then pressed N again to remove the "N" state.
What I am looking for is to find a key which can be just pressed once
to remove the "O" old state. I have to clean hundreds "O" old state
messages manually I transfered from other email clients.
Thank you.
Kind Regards.
