The new/old status is controlled by the IMAP server. If you use a limit
pattern such as "~b <string>", Mutt will need to fetch all the messages
in order to search the message bodies. When this is done, the IMAP
server sees all those FETCH commands, and assumes that you have read all
the messages; it marks them read! When you next re-sync the folder, all
your New flags will disappear.
