I tried but did not work well. I guess I may not understand your tag
procedure well, or I did not explain my intention clearly. I am doing
following two steps:
1. Config muttrc not to mark unread message from N (new) to O (old).
I tried to "set mark_old=no"
But it did not work, it still marked N to O after exiting mutt.
What was wrong for the "set mark_old=no"?
2. Change already marked "O" messages to "N"
If "set mark_old=no" works, all new messages will be mark to N so that
I can use key N to change message state without open the mails in
index.
But for old messages which have already marked with "O", I want to
change it back to "N". I tried to use tag as you suggested above to
change all "O" messages to "N". But did not work. Please explain more
details how can I use the tag to change all "O" state to "N" state in
one go.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
