Is it possible for mutt to save sent message as unseen?

[Globe Trotter via Mutt-users]

Hello,

I have my messages that I send through an account set up to be saved
locally into a MAILDIR directory with MAILDIR format. I have noticed
that this goes into MAILDIR/cur rather than MAILDIR/new. Is it possible
to have this sent to a MAILDIR/new rather than MAILDIR/cur, or if I
want this to happen, is it only possible to do this through a cronjob?

Cheers,
GT
