 Hi,

 I'm afraid you have to maintain your own patch reverting this if you
 can't find other ways to deal with it.

 The point is that it's not a new feature because in that case the mutt
 way would have been to add stuff but the make old behaviour the new
 default, i.e. you wouldn't have noticed it at all. For example, many
 users are unaware of the fact that $check_mbox_size exists as result of
 turning the compile-time option into a runtime one, because mutt (by
 default) continues to use atime vs. mtime to detect new mail.

 This is a bug fix and you, as well as some others, have got used to a bug.

 As has been said on mutt-dev discussing the change, this "new" behaviour
 is default for maildir and mh forever.
