I don't only want to redeliver my emails, but also not let all redelivered
mails become into the unread status. I'm using maildir format, and tried with
the following script:
for j in $(find $2 -type d | grep cur) ; do (
cd $j ;
for i in * ;
do cat $i | formail -ds procmail ;
done) ;
done
But after redeliverd, all emails are new, i.e. unread in mutt, that's not what
I want.
