That makes sense.

Ah.  I get it.  I let mail from people come into my mailbox (ie !) 
and mail from lists go into special folders (eg =F.mutt), so my fcc
to the person's folder (eg =davidtg) or the mailing list's folder 
(eg =mutt-users) doesn't collide.

Yeah.  Good luck :-)

Since mutt doesn't look inside but only looks at timestamps you're pretty
much out of luck there.  If you want to keep something that looks fairly
similar, all I can whip up at the moment is to fcc into =archive/user and
then you get to periodically move things from =user to =archive/user and
bring them together as you keep your working mailbox pruned...  Not great
if you plan to go back to your own message, say to reply to yourself, but
at least you'd get rid of the timestamp problem.

A other option, I suppose, would be to quit using an fcc at all and use
a sendmail wrapper to write the copy and then update the access time
so that mutt doesn't see it -- but then what happens if new mail is
coming in at the same time (assuming you have locking also worked out,
which ain't too tough) and your access times match to the second?
