retitle 204502 doesn't interpret Maildir flags P, R, and T as 'read'
tags 204502 wontfix
thanks
I'm tagging this with my archivemail upstream hat on. To know what
we're talking about, first a look into the Maildir spec[1]:
Flag "P" (passed) : the user has resent/forwarded/bounced this message to
someone else.
Flag "R" (replied): the user has replied to this message.
Flag "S" (seen): the user has viewed this message, though perhaps he didn't
read all the way through it.
Flag "T" (trashed): the user has moved this message to the trash; the trash
will be emptied by a later user action.
Flag "D" (draft): the user considers this message a draft; toggled at user
discretion.
Flag "F" (flagged): user-defined flag; toggled at user discretion.
Archivemail doesn't interpret "passed", "replied" and "trashed"
automatically as "read". I'm citing some discussion from the Debian bug
tracking system.

I agree with Joey here.

Clearly not IMO.
