UNMARK

Clear the mark on a message or change its new vs. read or unreplied vs. replied status.

Syntax

UNMARK [message-number[,...]]

Qualifiers Defaults
/ALL None
/READ None
/REPLIED None

Parameters

message-number[,...]

Optional list of integers specifying which messages to unmark. Ranges are permitted (e.g., 5-7).

Description

The UNMARK command clears mark flags set with the MARK command. If the optional message-number parameter is omitted, then the mark flag will be removed (cleared) in the last message read. When the /ALL qualifier is specified, the mark flag is removed from all currently selected messages.

The /READ, /NOREAD, /REPLIED, and /NOREPLIED qualifiers may be used to change the new vs. read and replied vs. unreplied status of a message. New messages are flagged as being read after you read them, and flagged as being replied after your reply to them. These flags only appear when you use the DIRECTORY/FULL command.

The COPY, DELETE, EXTRACT, FILE, MOVE, PRINT, and SELECT commands can all be directed to only operate on marked, unmarked, read, unread, replied, or unreplied messages.


Qualifiers

/ALL

Unmark all currently selected messages.

/READ

/NOREAD

Mark the specified messages as being unread (new), /NOREAD, or read, /READ.

/REPLIED

/NOREPLIED

Mark the specified messages as having been replied to, /REPLIED, or as having not been replied to, /NOREPLIED.
