[bug-mailutils] Sieving messages to Maildir's new folders

[Rach Holmes]

Hi,

I've recently been trying to replace my current filtering setup with a
mailutils' sieve based one, but I keep coming up against the same
problem.  It seems impossible to me to have the results of sieved mail
filed in to a Maildir's new/ folder, they always end up in cur/.  I'm
using mailutils 1.1.

My use case is simply wanting to sort and deliver the contents of my
local spool file in to separate Maildirs in my home directory.  I've
tried delivering to other mailbox formats, but it makes no difference.
I've also seen that movemail always drops mail in to the cur/ directory
too where I'd equally expect the default to be mail that is marked new
as well, so I imagine this is a user error.

Is this expected behaviour, a bug or more likely am I just missing some
obvious switch that allows me to control whether mails are considered
new when delivered?
