unread nnimap messages marked as O after move to different group

unread nnimap messages marked as O after move to different group

[John Sullivan]

I wouldn't expect moving a message from one nnimap group to another to
change its read status.

I've had previous issues (now fixed) with moving messages between
servers, but this is reproducible moving messages between two groups on
the same server, using gnus from today's emacs git mirror.

I marked several unread messages with #, then moved them to a different
group with B m. In the new group, they are all marked O. (It's also
strange that they aren't marked E, if anything, because the destination
group has expiry on.)

Here's the imap log of the move:

17:27:54 431 SELECT "INBOX.spam"
17:27:54 432 UID FETCH 14363:14364 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODYSTRUCTURE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Subject From Date Message-Id References In-Reply-To Xref To Newsgroups)])

D'oh.  There was a nice piece of totally reversed logic in the
push-marks-to-the-server logic.
