For the mutt/neomutt users out here, what’s the trick to highlight threads with new messages? No user interaction, just upon opening, or while opened, have threads with new, unread messages in it highlighted. Thanks!

Collapsed threads, that is. If I un-collapse a thread, new/unread messages show on the intended new colour, but while the thread is in collapsed state, there is no highlight.

@quark@ferengi.one Hmmmm, threads with unread messages are always un-collapsed here. 🤔 I can’t even collapse them on purpose, mutt doesn’t let me.

Maybe that’s a mutt vs. neomutt thing?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think I have got it, but need to test upon receiving further posts. I added:

set uncollapse_new     = yes  # open threads when new mail
set uncollapse_jump    = yes  # jump to unread message when uncollapse
set collapse_unread    = no   # don't collapse threads with unread mails

Let’s see how it goes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it might be a neomutt thing. Let’s see now.

@bender@twtxt.net yup, this works well. I needed those extra settings.
