I'm a novice elm user but, with the help of the
excellent manual and a bit of trial-and-error
tinkering, have configured elm to save incoming
mail with certain From: headers to mail files
other than my general mailbox.  So far, so good.

The only problem is that newly-arrived mail in
these files is not marked as N, since, I suppose,
they've already been acted upon by a filter.
This makes it a bit more difficult to scan the
files for newly arrived mail (though sorting as
I do by date puts the newer messages at or near
the top of the list).

Is there a way to have mail filtered and saved by
elm continue to be marked as New--or Old, for that
matter--until they are actually read?

I hope I've made myself clear and thank any kind
souls in advance for their replies.
