When I'm talking about "reread" in my message, I mean the header is
reread from the mail server, not that the message is marked "read". I
apologize for not being clear.

Let my again:

Given comment #6, I would suggest that when a message is copied from
one folder to another that either:
 1) The header is read again from the mail server
 or
 2) The cached header is passed to the new folder so it doesn't have
    to be read again from the mail server.
 I don't know enough about IMAP or other mail stores to know if option
 2 is reasonable or not.

I hope that rewrite helps and sorry about re-using read in two
different ways. :-)

Ciao!
