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.
