There was some talk a while back about modifying the behaviour of
Maildir sources.  The issue was that there is an odd scanning bug with
Maildir that sometimes sees messages get skipped.  A proposed solution
was to have sup start 'playing nice' with Maildir so that when new
messages were found in new/, they'd be indexed and recorded with a
filename in cur/, presumably with the S (seen) flag appended properly.

I _think_ William was looking at that, but I'm not sure.  It's
something I'd like too (not to play nice with other clients, but
because it's "just better").  I haven't had much time lately, but if
William confirms he's not working on it, I'd be interested in
implementing it.

Thanks
