I'm using "procmail" with Elm and most of my mail, thrown by procmail,
seems to be "read", when I *haven't*, or at least that is what Elm's
"frm" says.
Is there some kind of flag(s) in the mail-box-files to indicate this?
Does the Access, Change, and Modify times of the file play any role?
My own fix for this problem is to force a new header line into incoming
mail by this recipe:
# Recipe: Fix bug in elm's frm program that doesn't recognise new mail.
# Flags: Use this recipe as a filter.
# Action: Use formail to add the header "Status: N"
:0 f
| formail -a "Status: N"
It's a little inefficient but it mostly works.
