I don't understand this one

I think it depends on mark_old, with mark_old set, mutt marks unread
new mails as old when leaving the mailbox, old messages stay old. With
mark_old unset, new messages stay new (until read), and messages
marked_old become new when you leave the mailbox (just try it). The
patch changes the behaviour in respect with old messages and unset
mark_old, the messages stay old (and new messages stay new).

I like this behaviour, I mark messages I want to read later as old,
and later I use an small perlscript to make them new, so mutt shows me
in which folders I have to look.

Nicolas
