[neomutt-users] How to stop <tag-thread> from jumping to next item

[Jakub Jindra]

Hi Sam,

this the default behavior. It behaves the same with a single message, 
you tag,delete,undelete one message and cursor moves to the next.

To change this just put in Your config following:
unset resolve

Here's link to a neomutt guide about resolve config option:
https://neomutt.org/guide/reference.html#3-317-%C2%A0resolve

You're asking on a good mailing list, but You have really old version.

Best,
Jakub
