I'm fine with that. But I disagree that this extends beyond receiving.
When I move a message from one Maildir to another Maildir the message is
already received, so no further changes should be made.

"The message is changed the first time when you access it" does not
match my observations. Can you give steps to reproduce?

Yes. There are easy steps to reproduce: Create two Maildirs a and b
(bash: mkdir -p a/{tmp,cur,new} b/{tmp,cur,new}). Then drop a message
without these headers, for instance an empty message in a (touch
a/new/empty). (Even though this message is syntactically incorrect mutt
can handle it.) Now mutt -f a and save the message to b. On inspecting
the resulting file you can see these headers added.
Would it help if the change in behaviour could be toggled by setting an
option?
Helmut
