It seems, that the programs are  reading  "/<folder>/new/"  and  if  you
access a Maildirfolder over IMAP, the server (in my case  courier)  move
the messages to "/<folder>/cur/" which let "buffy"  thinking,  they  are
now read.

This is definitively a BUG in the biff/buffy apps  or  they  can  handel
only local mail and not IMAP which asume, mutt  is  accessing  the  same
folder local and not using IMAP.

Code new "buffy" apps using perl  :-)

I have had coded a tool "tdnewmsg" which had the same "BUG" but since  I
have recoded it in perl it is working as I expect...
