Do you actually move all your hams from your inbox to a separate "confirmed ham" folder?
All of my incoming mail is CC'ed to a separate account, and all sorting is done within that account. The masscheck ham folder is entirely separate from my Inbox.
Or do you only run mass-check manually, just after verifying everything in your inbox is ham? Or do you just run mass-check from cron with your inbox listed as ham, in hopes that you usually won't get a spam in your inbox between the last time you checked and when mass-check runs?
I run from cron, but given I don't masscheck my inbox this is not an issue.
I thought I was real clever, copying the "cur" directories from my maildirs to another temporary directory, then running mass-check on them. But it turns out that mutt actually moves mail from "new" to "cur" when it switches status from N (new) to O (old). So I was effectively doing the third option above. (And making mutt not change that status breaks its ability to switch to the next folder with new mail via tab.) It seems to me like it would be so much better to be able to just tell mass-check to ignore unread emails. Might even make sense as a default? I realize it's not desirable for spam traps.
Do not change the default behavior because people depend on the default behavior. I agree that would be a desirable option, but only as an option.
