I just discovered repl -annotate to mark messages as replied to. Is there a particular reason for no show -annotate to make them as having been read? I guess the obvious reason is to make show more efficient. Is there actually a better one (like a philosophical justification)? And yes I know, I could write my own showproc which does it. I just don't want to. -s

here's how i know when i have or have not read a message. in my
.mh_profile, i add the line
Unseen-Sequence: unseen
which puts new messages in the sequence unseen in each folder (as put
there by inc or rcvstore). then a 'scan unseen' will list out the
unseen messages in the current folder. as a convenience feature, i
wrote the following script which i call usmail:
#!/bin/csh -f
# V. Khera
# print out listing of unseen mail in mh folder +inbox
# $Id: usmail.csh,v 1.1 90/11/15 17:36:24 khera Exp $
set foo = `mark +inbox -list -sequence unseen`
if ("$foo[2]" != "(null)") then
echo "Unseen mail (inbox):"
scan unseen
else
echo "No unseen mail in inbox."
endif
when i do a show on the message, it automagically gets removed from
the unseen sequence.
