The method depends on the type of folder. For the most common type of
folder, mbox, the entire folder must be rewritten in order to to insert
the Status: header into the message. This is a lot of work to have Mutt
perform, in order to reflect the status change immediately, and I bet
you wouldn't like it.
Other mailbox types, though, can change the status of messages more or
less instantly. However, since Mutt was originally designed with only
mbox folders in mind, this type of functionality was never put in, and
would be more difficult than you might think. However, it's on my list
of things to get around to someday if I ever run out of other things to
do. :)
