Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.18-6+b1
Severity: wishlist

When I postpone an email, it is flagged as new. I find this annoying
because in my mind "new" emails are ones that I've not read, and this
isn't true about postponed emails. Furthermore this is distracting
because my status_format configuration variable includes %b (number of
mailboxes with new mail) and postponed emails marked new are included
in this count. Thus, after postponing an email, %b increases by one,
effectively notifying me I've just postponed an email; this is telling
me something I already know.

Can mutt be configured so new emails are not marked as new?

thanks

Re-reading this after some time, I realize that we do not want to fix this as
there are various reasons outlined above, including the increase in the header
cache.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
