Just an example: sometimes I like to "normalize" a maildir so that the file modtimes are set to the "date sent" filed of the messages themselves. Right now, if I recall correctly, mutt does this automatically with "s". If the hardlink way were forced upon me, then
Just a note that for maildir, mutt will reset the mtime to the received time, not the date sent.
the copies would not have their filemodtimes set in this way, since they would have to have the same mod times as the files they're hardlinked to. And (if I recall correctly) I couldn't just use ";C"-followed-by-delete instead, because (even if that weren't a pain) when using ";C" mutt didn't normalize the file modtimes.
I just double checked the code, and the save and copy functionality use the same code path, there is merely a "delete original" boolean flag, so the behavior should otherwise be the same wrt the message copy.
