Is the Status: header really needed in every case? This breaks mutt which displays mails with a 'O' flag instead of 'N'.
Is mutt accessing the mail store directly, or via IMAP?
In this case, the mail is fetched with fetchmail and then mutt accesses local mailboxes.
Well, I fixed it with a procmail rule, as these headers are undoubtedly needed with other MUAs.
Are you sure? If so, they are broken. RFC 2076 identifies the "Status:" header as non-standard. It's used for per-message storage of flags (which is done another way by dovecot with Maildir storage).
So mutt could be broken then?
But, when I fetch mail from my Dovecot server on a local machine, and open the mailbox with mutt, I am most likely to not have seen the mail before, so I do not understand why the Status: should be 'O'. (well I suppose this has been debated before on various lists, so I will dig on my own :)
