Just for the hell of it, try a different flag (either \Flagged or
\Deleted). \Seen is treated differently from the other flags in that it
is cached for a while before getting written to the .seen file, so other
clients won't see it right away. \Recent is OK, because for Mutt, the
message IS recent, regardless of whether is was seen or not.
