 More precisely, the *displayed* number of postponed messages can
 change when a message is postponed, but not when a message is
 recalled by another Mutt instance. But this doesn't seem to be
 always reproducible.
 
 Assuming the number of postponed messages is displayed in the
 status line (at least when it is > 0):
 
 1. Start a Mutt instance (A).
 2. Start a second Mutt instance (B).
 3. In Mutt instance (A), compose a message and postpone it.
    You'll get "Post:1" in this instance.
 4. Do <refresh> (here, ^L) in Mutt instance (B).
    You'll get "Post:1" too.
 5. In Mutt instance (A), compose another message and postpone it.
    You'll get "Post:2" in this instance.
 6. Do <refresh> in Mutt instance (B). You'll get "Post:2" too.
 7. Recall a postponed message from Mutt instance (A) and cancel it.
    You'll get "Post:1" in this instance.
 
 Now, here's the bug:
 
 8. Do <refresh> in Mutt instance (B). -> Nothing happens: "Post:2"
    is still displayed (instead of "Post:1").
 
 You can go on:
 
 9. Recall the remaining postponed message from Mutt instance (A) and
    cancel it. The status line shows no postponed messages.
 10. Do <refresh> in Mutt instance (B). -> Nothing happens: "Post:2"
     is still displayed.
