Subject: Quickest way to mark *all* backend read articles as dormant?
Date: 12 Nov 1999 20:09:47 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87yac387mc.fsf@raven.localnet> (raw)


I think I'm going to switch over to total-expire, and in evaluating
that, I'm trying to figure out the quickest way to mark *all* read
articles in my mail backend as dormant.  I figured out how to do it
manually on a per-group basis, but I have a *lot* of groups.  I was
wondering if there was a quick way I could do it globally.

I'm not opposed to hand-editing my .newsrc.el for this one-time
switchover if that would work and be easiest, but I figured that that
might be unsafe.

Thanks
