Seems like a bug in the nnml compaction feature. Didier?

There are `nnml-generate-nov-databases' and
`nnml-generate-nov-databases-directory'.

Been a while since I touched it (I'm using nnimap now) but I'll try to
look at it.
Giorgos, what do you mean by "new": do you mean unread messages that are
here before compaction, or messages that arrive afterwards ?

Messages that arrive afterwards. The steps I have to follow to
reproduce this are:
1. Compact an nnml folder with 'G z'.
2. Get new messages with 'g'.
I would expect the newly arrived messages to be marked as '.' when I
enter the folder and not be marked as 'old'. But they are.
