Last but not least, some messages differ only because one has:
Status: R0
and the second has:
Status: O
I guess this means it's the same message, (O)ld in both mailboxes, but
replied to
only in the first. Am I correct? If yes, can I safely ignore overwrite
it with
"Status: O"?
This header (not a "standard" RFC header) is frequently added by
MUA's (Mail User Agents, or "mailreaders", such as mutt, elm, pine,
etc.). As far as I know, "O" is always used for "old" (meaning
the message was there when the MUA last rewrote the mailbox), and
"R" means "read" (you "opened" it). So, if you read one copy, you
may see the different headers on the two messages. Some of them
(but not all) use "r" for replied-to.
I found it annoying enough that mail once in a while would arrive
with a "Status: R" or "Status: OR" confusing me in my next attempt
to read mail, that I ended up stripping this header on all incoming
mail (with the following near the top of my .procmailrc):
:0
* ^Status:
{
LOG="Warning: Mail arrived with Status: header; removing it$NL"
:0fhHwi
|formail -IStatus:
}
