There was some talk a while back about modifying the behaviour of Maildir sources. The issue was that there is an odd scanning bug with Maildir that sometimes sees messages get skipped. A proposed solution was to have sup start 'playing nice' with Maildir so that when new messages were found in new/, they'd be indexed and recorded with a filename in cur/, presumably with the S (seen) flag appended properly. I _think_ William was looking at that, but I'm not sure. It's something I'd like too (not to play nice with other clients, but because it's "just better"). I haven't had much time lately, but if William confirms he's not working on it, I'd be interested in implementing it.
