Since they have been redelivered, it's hard to blame mutt for indicating that. Since you are running a script over each one anyway, you could perhaps remember the value of the "Status:" header in each email, and restore it after redelivery. While formail will munge headers for you, I haven't tried fighting mutt to set the "Status:" header. You might need to do that faking post-delivery.
