 It's hard to say if  this would affect the problem you're writing
 about, but you could just have fetchmail send the mail to procmail
 directly:
 
    mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f -"
 
 That should be a bit more efficient.  And I suppose it's possible that 
 it might even fix your problem...  It might be the MDA that's
 mistakenly marking the mail as old.

 Another thing to try: update to mutt 1.5.11.  It fixes lots of bugs in
 1.5.9.
