fcc to mailbox in mbox format raises new mail flag (debian bug#209390)

[Adeodato Simó <asp16@…>]

Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.6
Severity: normal

SUMMARY: should the need_buffy_cleanup thing that gets applied in
mutt_save_message for mbox mailboxes get applied when saving a message
as a result of a Fcc?

Original reporter's explanation follows.

----- Forwarded message from Rob Mahurin <rob@utk.edu> -----

My .muttrc contains the line
	mailboxes ! =root =aps =habitat =debian =school =klug

If new mail appears in one of these folders (via procmail, say) then
mutt's message bar (the last line) says "New mail in =debian".  The
status bar above it changes from the first line to the second:

---Mutt: /var/mail/rob [Msgs:4 32K]---(date/date)--------------(all)---
---Mutt: /var/mail/rob [Msgs:4 Inc:1 32K]---(date/date)--------(all)---

In addition, if I hit "c" to change folders, "=debian" is pre-typed
for me.  The folders with new mail get an "N" in the list of mail
folders.  This is all useful behavior.  The "mailboxes" command is in
section 3.12 of the manual.txt.gz.

( I can force this to happen by saying "echo >> Mail/debian" at a
shell prompt, and if I say "touch Mail/debian" mutt decides the
mailbox has been "read" and returns to the first state, with no Inc
(incoming?) counter. )

If I save a message to =debian the "has new mail" status is
unaffected.  This is also correct behavior.

If I send a message and Fcc: to =debian, after I send mutt says 
"new mail in =debian".  The new mail is the message I just sent.
_This_ is what's broken.

I didn't write that status line.  It's consistent with the default line
(in the manual.txt.gz, section 6.3.249); the relevant part is
Inc:%b?%?l?.

Hopefully this is more helpful.
