[mew-int 02034] Mew and X-Status

Dear Mew Developers,

I have been a Mew user for several years now, and feel
that Mew is simply the best e-mail program available. 
However, there is one feature that I miss from my old
days using Pine.

In pine, when I reply to a message, the program
inserts an "A" in the X-Status field of the email
header (the email file itself is on the IMAP sever). 
This "A" is then displayed as a mark in Pine's summary
mode.  The "A" indicates that I have answered the
message.

For example, the X-Header fields will look like this
before I reply:

  X-Status: 
  X-Keywords:
  X-UID: 10603


and once I've replied to the email message, the
X-Header fields look like this:

  X-Status: A
  X-Keywords:                
  X-UID: 10603

Pine recognizes the presence of the "A" and displays a
mark in summary mode indicating that I have replied to
(i.e., answered) the email.

So, here is my question: Can Mew do this too?  Is
there anyway to read the X-Status field of the email
header, and to display a mark if there is an "A" in
the field?

This would be incredibly useful, because I receive and
reply to hundreds of emails every day, and I often
forget which e-mails I've replied to.  This would help
me keep track of which e-mails still need to be
answered.

Ideally, this would be done by marking the X-Status
field of the e-mail message on the IMAP sever -- that
way, the "A" marks would show up on any computer I
use...

Thank you very much,

-Eli
