What I remember is that, as more mailbox formats were being added
(IMAP), it became clear that Mutt couldn't always get all the
information needed in order to display the flag. That is, you'd have to
pretty much scan the folder itself to determine which mails have
attachments and which do not. And that is expensive, over a network.
