dovecot - Mar 2008 - Can the LDA deliver email marked as read?

Hello,

One of my users wants to be able to deliver email (e.g. via a procmail 
script) and mark it *read* when it's delivered. We use Maildir as our 
mail storage format. I have a bit of a hack script put together that 
will do it by directly manipulating the Maildir (it delivers the email 
using safecat, and then renames the file into the "cur" directory with
the necessary flags appended to the file name), but this is a hack at 
best, and has the problem that if Dovecot is monitoring the file, it 
could potentially fail to work---there is a race between delivery and 
renaming.

I've been slowly moving our site in the direction of using the Dovecot 
LDA to deliver mail. Is there a way (via a plugin, maybe?) to get the 
LDA to mark mail as "read" when it is delivered?

You can do this with Sieve, at least (imapflags, \\seen).
