Arguments

Available Flags

Flag	Purpose
`read`	Whether the user has read the message. Messages start out unread (except for messages the user themself sent using a non-API client) and can later be marked as read.
`starred`	Whether the user has [starred this message](/help/star-a-message).
`collapsed`	Whether the user has [collapsed this message](/help/collapse-a-message).
`mentioned`	Whether the current user [was mentioned](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) by this message, either directly or via a user group. Not editable.
`wildcard_mentioned`	Whether this message contained [wildcard mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group#mention-everyone-on-a-stream) like @all. Not editable.
`has_alert_word`	Whether the message contains any of the current user's [configured alert words](/help/add-an-alert-word). Not editable.
`historical`	True for messages that the user did not receive at the time they were sent but later was added to the user's history (E.g. because they starred or reacted to a message sent to a public stream before they subscribed to that stream). Not editable.
