Package: mailutils
Version: 1:3.1.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

According to http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html  
letter R and S in message file name means that user has Replied and See(n) 
message. 
Unfortunately mailutils author does not follow this convention; 
R treates as Read , and for 'Answered' letter 'a' is used. 
This breaks compatibility with other maildir-aware software.
I think that mailutils shold be more compatible with referenced spec.

I tried to discuss wiht package author but he insist for his approach.
