how to grep without changing timestamps?



Hello all,

Is it possible to grep a ton of files without modifying their date/timestamps?
Currently if I use grep, it changes the access time of all files touched,
which causes mutt to lose track of the folders which have new mail (I guess it
looks at the timestamp last modified and last accessed to figure this out).
Occasionally I do want to include the mail folders in my greps, so bypassing
the "mail" directory is not a solution.
