a flagged message cannot be represented without an info field. as
flagged messages can be recent (if the MDA flagged it, like mine does),
the info field may need to be present in new/ already.
the specification does not forbid that behavior - it merely says that
failure to add the info field when moving to cur/ would be illegal
(which, fwiw, seems like a fairly pointless requirement to me to start
with).
