4.7 Overwriting marks

Marks have levels of strength. You can override a mark by another same-level mark weak mark. Also stronger marks can override weaker marks.

The followings shows the marks in the strong order:

‘o’, ‘D’, and ‘X’

After marking a message newly, the next message is shown. After overriding another mark, the cursor stays on the message.

‘*’ and ‘$’

After marking a message, the cursor stays on the message.

‘U’

After marking a message, the cursor stays on the message.

Refer to See section Summary mode to know which direction the cursor moves after putting a strong mark.

You can exchange marks as follows:

‘m$’

‘*’ -> ‘$’ :: Preserve the ‘*’ marks temporarily.

‘m*’

‘$’ -> ‘*’ :: Get the ‘*’ marks back.

‘ms’

‘$’ <-> ‘*’

‘mM-u’

‘*’ -> ‘U’ :: It is useful when you put ‘U’ marks to messages picked by ‘?’.

‘md’

‘*’ -> ‘D’ :: It is useful when you put ‘D’ marks to messages picked by ‘?’.

‘mM-d’

‘*’ -> ‘X’ :: It is useful when you put ‘X’ marks to messages picked by ‘?’.

‘mo’

‘*’ -> ‘o’ :: It is useful when you put ‘o’ marks to messages to be moved picked by ‘?’. ‘*’ -> ‘o’ :: It is useful when you put ‘o’ marks to messages to be copied picked by ‘?’.

‘e’

Exchange the first input mark to the second one. The ‘o’ mark is not exchangeable.
