It actually is possible for a maildir folder to have messages with
status "N", yet still not appear as "new" in the folder browser. If the
message is renamed from the "new" subdir to the "cur" subdir, but the
filename is changed to add ":N" as a status flag, then Mutt will still
mark the message as "N" but won't notice the message when scanning for
new mail in the folder. I did this once, manaually, when I really
wanted that feature in one of my maildirs... Can't remember why,
though. :)
Anyway, since the maildir structure allows for it, it might be possible
for Mutt to do it. But someone else will have to code the patch.. :)
