    Hello, all.

    The man page for tin 2.6.5 release 20251224 says:

    SelectMarkGrpUnread 'z' 'Z'

    yet in practice only 'z' invokes this command, whereas 'Z' ends
    with:

    Bad command. Type 'h' for help.

    I think it is an error, either in Tin or in its documentation.

    Hello, all.

    SelectMarkGrpUnread 'z' 'Z'

    yet in practice only 'z' invokes this command, whereas 'Z' ends

    I think it is an error, either in Tin or in its documentation.

    Seems to work as expected here. I built tin from source on macOS
    rather then installing via Brew or MacPorts. How did you install it?

    likely you have keymap-file installed (the template includes
    both z and Z) whereas Ant has not so the internal defaults are
    used.

    I've checked the source file and, yes, z and Z are defined. Thanks :)

    I am using the defaults, indeed.
