BgAction and FlistUnseenFoldersInit

It's bugged me for years that I have to restart exmh before flist sees new 
mail in newly created folders.  It appears that the issue is that 
"BgAction FlistUnseenFoldersInit FlistUnseenFoldersInit" doesn't do anything.

I don't understand the background processing very well, but I'm thinking that 
when flist(unseenfolders) is set, it's done in the wrong process?  Does the 
lappend need to be wrapped in a BgRPC call or does the whole proc just need to 
be called in the foreground?

Am I understanding correctly that BgAction causes something to run in the 
background and BgRPC causes someeting to run in the foreground?

Would it be possible to put some comments in background.tcl describing the contract 
of these procs and what can and can't be done in the background?

                uptime or reactively pay for downtime?
