So I changed my draft and sent it that way. Meanwhile, two
others have sent in a similar suggested solution, one with just "R"
and one other with "RO"; so I'm not sure which one we really want.
I susupect htey all work, but for different reasons.
It depends (or at least it used to) on your mailer. Status: O means
the messsage is Old, but not read. Some software treats this as new,
some treats it as read, and some treats it as old. Status: R means
the message is read, but on at least one mail client (mailx? elm?) I
used a long time ago, messages with a R but no O were still treated
as new.
So, I always set RO wehn i want it to be read.
