Well, if I've got my "+me" folder open and press '$', an strace shows
only this (all system calls with the string "/me" in them):
[pid 28316] stat("/home/cameron/mail/me", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
[pid 28316] stat("/home/cameron/mail/me", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
It makes no attempt to stat me/new or me/cur, or to read them.
"mutt -v" output:
[/home/cameron]janus*> ~/bin-local/mutt -v
