Just to follow-up to this and at the same time address Kurt's question,
clearing "new" effectively does so too. So
<tag-pattern>~U<enter><tag-prefix-cond><clear-flag>N
would work just as well.
Internally, Mutt uses two different bits, "old", and "read" to represent
the three states. "<clear-flag>O" sets the read bit and unsets the old
bit, while "<clear-flag>N" only sets the read bit. However, Mutt
patterns and display flags ignore the old bit if read is set.
