I'm having to send this through my webmail since spamcop has blacklisted our IBM mail gateway. :-(

Originally, I thought the problem may have been explained by this post by Peter Grandi: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13136173 But looking at this post again reminds me of a recent fix that I hadn't connected to the mutt problem.

A bug was recently reported that the mtime (& ctime) of a directory is not being updated when a file is linked into the directory: http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=988a6490a793b73ff23aa3baf87b337152178e4d I'm not sure if mutt adds files to a directory with a link, but this may possibly explain the problem.
