The problem with that is that it makes Mutt lose the distinction of new
and old, not just stop marking messages as old. (I think.)

Three differences:
$mark_old gets changed into a quadoption, whereby you can get prompted
on folder exit whether the new messages should be marked old, or not.
The addition of a new boolean variable, $see_old, which determines
whether old messages are shown as new or old.
Mutt will distinguish between messages which are old and which are new
at all times, though if $see_old is unset, ~N will (ought to?) match
both new and old.
