Messages not recognized as flagged



I have mutt configured so that flagged messages (~F) show up colored red, in order to draw my attention. I also have procmail configured to flag certain messages on the way in. The problem I'm seeing is that until the messages are read for the first time, the pattern doesn't trigger, and the messages are colored normally.

I'm currently running mutt 1.5.8 on Gentoo, reading my message via my local IMAP server. I am also using the header cache. IIRC, this worked fine when I was downloading all my mail and saving them in Maildir format.

AFAICT, the ~F pattern is executing by testing the ->flagged attribute. Perhaps this attribute is not being set until the message is read and the "X-Flag: F" header is processed?

Is this something that can't work over IMAP? Should work and needs to be fixed? Is someone else more knowledgeable able to take a look, or should I dive into this myself?
