If you use mailutil with MIX and try to "move" to a new folder, all

I would expect that without -kwcopy, the move command would behave
like create + append without -kwcopy (which does not result in the
meta keywords being preserved).
Actually, your expectation was correct! mailutil move without -kwcopy
does work the same as create + append without -kwcopy. It's the other
part (create + append not preserving keywords) that is different in mix.
So are you saying that create+append is buggy in not adding the keywords
and that this will now be fixed? I think it is important to keep the
ability in mailutil for not including the keywords so that it can be
used to remove keywords from a folder. I know we have some patches for
various tools that allow removing keywords and such, but I really prefer
using unpatched code if at all possible.
Please advise,

It turns out that -kwcopy is unnecessary with the current mix driver
no matter what operation you use!
I'm not sure what to do about this. It's easy enough to disable
keyword creation in this case. But perhaps some people would consider
this to be a feature of mix and the other UW IMAP drivers are buggy
for not doing it.
