[mew-int 01866] unread mark

[Kazu Yamamoto ( 山本和彦 )]

Hello, 

Sorry for keeping you waiting so long but I have finally implemented
the unread mark, 'U'.

If you want to use, put the following to your ".mew":
	(setq mew-use-unread-mark t)

By default, messages in inboxes and newsgroups are marked with 'U' when
scanning.

When you read a message by "SPC"/"n"/"p", the 'U' mark is removed.

Type "M-u" to mark a message with 'U' again.

"SPC"/"n"/"p" reads through messages marked with ' '(read)/'U'/'*' by
default.

If you type "z ", they read through messages marked with 'U'/'*'. Thus
you can easily find unread messages. (This mechanism is believed the
best at this moment.)

Typing "z " again gets the action back.

If you want to refile *read* messages automatically, put
	(setq mew-refile-auto-refile-skip-any-mark t)
into your ".mew" and type "M-o".

Note that read(' ')/unread('U') marks in inbox are not inherited to
foldres where the messages are refiled. Rather, you can configure
the default mark for each folder.

As I said before, the 'U' mark is the default for inboxes and
newsgroups. I believe that this is appropriate for those who
read messages in inboxes and refile them after reading.

Other users may want to refile messages to each folder first (e.g
"M-o") then read messages in each folder according to the 'U'
mark. This kind users should customize 'mew-unread-mark-list' like:

	(setq mew-unread-mark-list '((t t)))

For more information, refer to the document of this variable.

Finally, Mew does not make use of the '\Seen ' flag of IMAP. I'm not
convinced the benefit of synchronization to the '\Seen' flag at this
moment.

I will update info very soon and relaese Mew ver 4.0.68. It should be
beta since I'm sure that the format of Summary mode won't change.

Enjoy.
