Typical implementation for unread/replied/forwarded is annotating (ie
adding a special header to) a message. This is what Mew tries to
avoid.

Would you tell me how to implement the unread feature without
annotation? If you'd suggest any kind of DB, would you tell me how can
we avoid inconsistency?
