|  | Or, to see it with DIR/NEW  FORWARD (any message) back to yourself.

|  |     It is possible to read a message without READing it (and hence without
    resetting the 'new mail' status in your mail file nor the mail count
    in the system mail file). Here's how -
    
    MAIL> dir/new
    MAIL> extract/all tt:	! Will allow you to read all new mail
    MAIL> dir/new		! Will show exactly the same as the
				!    first dir/new
    Or, if there are too many new messages and you only want to
    read one (or a few) of them, I believe this will work -
    MAIL> dir/new		! To see which message(s) you want
    MAIL> select newmail/before=some_date/after=another_date
    MAIL> extract/all tt:	! Will only display those messages selected

| 506.4 | maybe you need a new mailer | VCQUAL::THOMPSON | Noter at Large | Mon Jun 29 1987 09:02 | 7 | 
|  |     Of course, you could also use DECmail-11 which has this as a
    standard feature. As well as a lot more.

    PS: DECmail-11 is not related to All-in-1 mail or DECmail/VMS.

| 506.5 | Compromise reached | DELNI::CANTOR | Dave C. | Mon Jun 29 1987 12:31 | 8 | 
|  |       Thanks for all the help and suggestions.  I've solved the problem
      temporarily by convincing the user to use READ NEWMAIL instead
      of READ/NEW.  There is a subtle difference.  The user really
      wanted the message to appear as NEW, but is willing to accept
      the ability to merely file the message in folder NEWMAIL, even
      though it doesn't appear as /NEW.
