 Aron Griffis published a patch[1,2] so that mutt can be used as an IMAP
 client that is Outbox-aware. That's a Courier-IMAP[3] feature that allows
 for sending mails when they are added to a particular box (which defaults
 to INBOX.Outbox when this mode is enabled on the server).

 That proves to be particularly useful when one is using remote IMAP
 through offlineimap, since there's no need to have a local MTA, to track
 network status and the like (I've been using postfix and postqueue -f for
 some years now). Just taking care of running offlineimap (for both
 incoming and outgoing mail at the same time) is then sufficient.

 The original patch was designed for mutt 1.5.12 and said to apply on
 1.5.13 as well. I've “ported” it to 1.5.18, and it looks like it now
 applies on both the pristine 1.5.18 release and the “patched” version as
 used in the Debian mutt-patched package.

 I didn't really get the reason for keeping sent mails as unread, so I'm
 proposing a tiny modification.

 (I'll try and use hg next time, I've still got to read the manual a bit
 more before before efficient enough.)
