I'm wondering about the feasibility of an idea:  could Gnus set the
`Status:' header to some sort of meaningful value(s) in the actual
message files when using the nnml back end?  This way, some external
(i.e., non-Gnus) software could interrogate the new/read/unread/etc.
status of email in the various nnml directories I'm using.

This would also be nice within the other back ends, as well, such as
nnfolder ... but perhaps this is already done in some of these ... ???

Any thoughts?
