Well, to answer my own question:
It seems that mutt's MH code doesn't do much to the .mh_sequences file
unless it has stuff in it and gets used. So now I deliver my email with
MH's rcvstore program, thus:
:0w
* pattern to match the mutt mailing lists here ...
| /usr/lib/nmh/rcvstore +mail -unseen
and have set up my .mh_profile to say:
Path: private/mail
Unseen-sequence: unseen
which is needed to have rcvstore update the sequence info.
And now mutt shows my nice "N" flags on my new messages again.

Sorry wrong coincidence. You mention being a grad student. Irritable and
sarcastic are then redundant. It is fortunately curable by finishing your
thesis. - Bob Grumbine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
