Re: [PLUG] Mutt - tagging messages

[christophe barbe <christophe@cattlegrid.net>]

I use the following macro to delete mails marked as read but not flagged
and older than 7 days:

macro index A "<tag-pattern>~d>7d\n<untag-pattern>~F|~D\n;<delete-message>$"

Be aware that if you have 0 unread unflagged mail older than 7 days, the
current mail will de deleted (last time i checked mutt did not provided
a conditional test).
