Mutt supports one side of this... if the mailbox contains messages with
the 'X-Status: D' header, they will indeed be pre-marked for deletion
upon entering the folder. I have a procmail script which marks spam
messages in this fashion.
However, Mutt has no support for writing a mailbox in this fashion.

Why do people always insist that someone give a specific reason why
something hasn't been done yet? As if everyone had already considered
every possibility, and each was selected and rejected for various
criteria... :)
In this case, the idea has come up on this list, and several people
thought it was a good idea, but nobody actually wrote any code, so
nothing actually happened. That's how open software usually is. :)
