Create another folder in NS called read, and move the messages there when they in fact have been read. Then point mutt to the new dir
~/.netscape/mail/Inbox/read
hope im not oversimplifying a more complex issue ;-)
That is one possible solution that I've thought about, and it may have to be the eventual solution. The main problem with that is that I've got loads of subdirectories with both read and unread messages, and I don't fancy sorting through the ~50000 messages lying in various places and creating 'read' directories and sorting the messages for each subdirectory. Admittedly that's a slight exaggeration, as I can sort by 'read' or 'unread', but it would still be a major PITA.

I'm trying to move from Netscape to mutt/pine, but Netscape doesn't seem to be marking messages as 'read' correctly. Netscape is supposed to use standard mbox format, apart from their .summary files, so I wouldn't have thought this would be a problem.
If I open, say, ~/.netscape/mail/Inbox in mutt or pine, the vast majority of messages are marked as new (other than 6 or 7, which are marked as 'read' for some unknown reason). In Netscape, these messages have definitely been marked as read.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate anything at all, as I've been working at this on and off for 4 or 5 months.
Thanks for the suggestion though, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
