I thought everything used Status: RO

You are being fooled by co-temporanaeity and thinking it to
be causation. :-)  Your MUA stuffs a "Status: RO" header in
the mail you've read, and the mail you've read shows up
as read in your MUA, but not because of the header.  It's
because of the filename.

I have procmail process a file named .list_local for my 'kremels' email address, and I have a second email addreess (lists(_at_)southgaylord(_dot_)com) which subscribes to all the same lists as the 'kremels' ID, but delivers to maildirs. This is all part of my gradual move away from mbox, needless to say my list account is the last email I want to change over because it receives the most mail, and I want to know everything is working as I expect.

So, for the last 6 weeks I've been collecting double messages so that I know that the virtual users and procmail and postfix and Mail.app and squirrelmail all get along.

the end of my .list_local is:

# If we didn't bail, mark the message as read.
:0fw
| formail -i"Status: RO"
LOG="Leaving Listlocal with LISTNAME=$LISTNAME (READ)$NL"

And I was under the impression, that this was marking the list messages as read. However, as you pointed out, it's not.

so, what is the final TRAP that works, since the message needs to me renamed to indicate it's been seen AND moved from new to cur?

Afterall, $LASTFOLDER will contain something like

.<MAILBOX>/new/<RANDOM_STUFF>.<HOSTNAME>

You may be anti anti-spam-kook if: Despite having invented the FUSSP, you not only don't know the difference between the SMTP envelope and SMTP headers; you doubt there is such a thing as the SMTP envelope because email doesn't involve paper.
