Status is a bad name for a new mail header, it is already used by bsd
mail for storing read/seen status.  Try labels, no reason to invent a
new name for an existing (in other programs) feature.

BABYL already support labels, so I'd suggest you start with the
nnbabyl backend rather than nnml.  I think being compatible with RMAIL
on labels would be a good thing.

For nnml, I think which (extra) headers to store in the overview file
should be an user option.  I'd like to be able to store `To' and
perhaps `Cc' in the overview for mail groups.  You could use these
fast with scoring or summary generation.

I think the default should be that there is no implicit use of labels.
Labels can be used with limits, or score, or perhaps in the summary
line, but this must be activated explicitly by the user.  This way, it
doesn't matter that parsing nnmbox would be slower, as the extra
parsing is only done on the users request.

Another vaguely related issue is that I'd like to be able to (easily)
add a limit expression to nnvirtual groups.  This way, I could have a
virtual group for unfixed bug reports and another for solved problems.
