exim/procmail & mutt: some mboxes read as 'new', others don't
i've got an interesting glitch happening with procmail (exim) and mutt,
and haven't figured it out: mutt's confused about which mboxes have new
mail....
based on various patterns found in incoming mail, i have my ~/.procmailrc
splitting it up to various mbox's in ~/Mail. when i run mutt and 'c'hange
from mbox to mbox, it defaults to the next mbox with new mail -- or it
should, but only sees three as ever having new mail:
# based on settings from aclark@ghoti.org ('fish'.org')
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
PROCMAILDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PROCMAILDIR/procmail.log
DEBIAN=$MAILDIR/debian
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox

mutt correctly knows when 'inbox', 'debian/user' and 'serensoft'
contain new mail, but not 'webmaster*', 'root', or any of the
others.
