But I assume that you store a copy of a sent message in that sent
folder, therefore during the sending of the message the copy is put
into the sent folder. Now mutt detects that this folder is modified,
because that message is not stored in the new sub-dir, as in the case
of "normal" maildir delivery but in the cur folder.
I get the same warnig....
