collapsed threads that have unread/new mails inside

[Yubin Ruan]

Hi,
How to identify collapsed threads that have unread/new mails inside?
I want to assign some color to those that so that it can be distinguished, but
currently I know no expression to express a "collapsed thread that has
unread/new mails inside".

Thanks,
Yubin

The 'n' immediately after the message number indicates new mail in a
collapsed thread. If colour is needed too, then a regex detecting that
will probably be required.

However, I have for a long time settled for:

set collapse_unread=no

in .muttrc, keeping such threads uncollapsed. It saves both time and
labour, since it's not necessary to manually uncollapse the thread to
see what is unread in there.

Is is possible to collapse all unread threads by default at the time of
starting up?

did you bother to try? you have been given the command and you have the
fine manual.

collapse_unread is not for that purpose and will not collapse all unread
threads by default at the time of starting up.

But now I know I can use a folder-hook.

From somewhere I have this in colors definitions since a long time:

color index yellow black "~v~(~F~N)" # collapsed thread with some unread & flagged
