I think a nicer solution is to create an option to set flags on the
server as soon as they've been changed in mutt. It might be slightly
slower, but probably not noticeable unless flags are set en masse
with a tagged command. I believe Pine goes this route.
I don't have time to write that patch myself right now due to the
end-of-term crunch.
