If the stream is open on the mailbox being appended to, then when you append to that mailbox, the open stream will see the new message. The open stream will call the new message \Recent, and set "Status: O" in the file for subsequent streams.

You can append to a null stream, or to a stream open on another mailbox. Note that a closed stream (mail_close() called on it) is no longer valid and has been free()d. In general, you only should provide a non-null stream if you are using IMAP, and already have a stream open to the IMAP server for the APPEND destination mailbox. In that case, c-client will use that stream instead of making a temporary stream. The other reason to provide a non-null stream is for setting local formats, but that's a power tool. > Btw - I note that pine apparently falls into the same pithole as me, since > if I write a message to myself from within pine it gets "Status: O", > even before I even see it in the index. I just tested it in Pine. I saved a message to a new mailbox. It did not get the "Status: O" flag.
