Hmmm ... can any of that actually be true? Let's check. Mutt makes flag and read status persistent through added headers such as: Status: RO X-Status: F Is it in reality even remotely "likely" that any LDA contains code to search out those headers and delete them in transit? (Please feel free to post any code snippets found.) The assertion also seems to ignore that mutt inserts those headers _after_ the LDA has delivered the messages, so there is normally no possible opportunity for the claimed LDA header removal - is there? As for "blorgh", if you refer to e.g. colour keywords, then mutt assigns colours on regexes evaluated at the time of display. There is no connection between that and any LDA run some time beforehand. So, is there anything factual in the assertion? Erik
