Unless the old state is "old", in which case you end up with status
"read" (I just checked this on mutt 1.5.15+20070412-1ubuntu1, which is
what Ubuntu currently provides).

The easy way that I can think of to do what the OP wants is to tag the
messages (`t'), then use <tag-prefix> (`;'), <clear-flag> (`W') or
<set-flag> (`w'), and then make the desired change.
