Hello Eduardo,

Our discussion about this in pine-info is part of what motivated
me to write my message about the 4 categories of messages. It is
still not clear to me what *you* think Pine means by New? Is it
(A), (B), (C), (D), or a combination of these?


On your Filters page you say this:

 A message is considered New in a filter if it was not present in
 the folder the last time it was opened. This includes messages
 that arrive when the folder is already opened as well as messages
 that arrived during the period of time that the was closed.

I think that what you are saying here is that "New in a filter"
means a message is in category (B) or (C) -- is that what you're
saying?

Also, what do you think Pine means by "New" in other (non-filter)
parts of the user interface? Does it mean something different
from the "New in a filter" meaning? If so, which one or more of
(A), (B), (C), and (D) does it mean?

Thanks,
Nancy
