[Dovecot] dovecot-lda delivery to Maildir/cur as 'seen'?

Hi

I've added a server-side feature where authenticated customers sending through our SMTP server have their outbound mail copied to their Sent folder (like Gmail does). The delivery script called by qmail calls dovecot-lda to deliver it to the user's Sent folder.

The problem now, is that the Sent folder shows the mail as unread, which MUAs flag (and notify, in the case of some). I've searched the docs and mailing list, but can't find an option to tell dovecot-lda to mark the mail being delivered, as seen/read. If I've missed something, please let me know. If not, then I think it might be a good idea to add a feature to dovecot-lda permitting one to specify delivery to the ./cur subfolder of a Maildir, instead of ./new.

Thanks
