I haven't been able to discover a way to sort on status. Is there? Ron

Is there? } } Ron Umm ... that's what mush is doing when you type "sort" (no args). So I suspect you're asking a different question than what you mean ... just for info, mush's status sort is based on a somewhat arbitrary precedence: Deleted below Undeleted Old below New Read below Unread Unpreserved below Preserved Unreplied below Replied Unsaved below Saved Unprinted below Printed Unforwarded below Forwarded The effect of this is that deleted messages are always last, new messages are always first, then unread messages, preserved messages, replied-to, saved, printed, and finally forwarded. The comparisons are applied in the order shown until something differentiates the messages, so for example New Deleted messages sort above Old Deleted messages, but they all end up after any of the Undeleted messages.
