I wrote a short script to make a listing of unread messages in different folders:


if $thisfolder:t == $USER
        :
        echo "These messages are still unread:"
        folder -n -N +InterViews
        headers :u
        folder -n -N +epoch
        headers :u
        folder -n -N %
        :
        exit
endif


However, I discovered that the -N option of the 'folder' command works only 
in line mode. So each folder change results in a complete header listing.

Is it possible to suppres complete header listings on folder change, by
sourcing a script from curses mode?
