I don't recall what the previously suggested solutions were.
But this works perfectly fine for me:
(press in sequence:)
T to tag matching the following pattern
~O the pattern (all "O" messages should now be tagged)
; apply the following to all tagged messages (*)
N set "N" flag on tagged messages
(*) you should be able to omit this step if you've got "set
auto_tag=yes" in your .muttrc AFAIK.
I don't know why your 'set mark_old=no' doesn't work. Do you possibly
have a folder-hook somewhere that overrides it?
