Status: is often written by the MUA, and qpopper creates one if an uploaded message doesn't have it already (i.e., the particular MUA in question doesn't care about Status: headers). Any message left in the spool after qpopper is done with it has been uploaded -- the behavior is to delete them, unless the client re-uploads them. So within the scope of qpopper and delivery, any message in the mail spool either has been uploaded from the client, and has a Status: header; or it is new, and has never been seen by a POP client, and has no Status: header. Unless, as John points out, update-status-headers is set false in the popper.conf file. Then qpopper doesn't touch them. -- -D.
