I looked at the .newrc.eld again. The only messages from nnimap groups
which are marked dormant are /old/.
(Side note: is it useful to compact a sequence such as (... 55 56 ...)
into (... (55 . 56) ...)? Is it faster than leaving a sequence of two
uncompacted?)
I like to mark my own posts dormant so that I can readily notice
replies, but I don't see anything recent in the dormant sexps.
