Re: A dumb question.

What Julian was telling you (suggesting), is that if you allow the message
to go into the unseen sequence, exmh will highlight the folder name (and the
message in the TOC when the folder is displayed).  Any method that prevents
the unseen sequence being used will work to prevent that - using procmail's
ability (as illustrated) to place messages directly into MH folders is
one way to do that, but you can also use -nounseen to rcvstore, or put the
message in one folder and refile it to where you want it (the message would
be temporarily unseen in the temp folder, but refile doesn't copy that, or
any other sequence info), or you could use MH_PROFILE to have a different
profile file which doesn't have unseen-sequence set ... and I'm sure there
are a bunch of other ways as well.

If you never wanted folders with unseen messages highlighted by exmh, rather
than just not some messages, or some folders, then you could also config exmh
so that the highlighted state looks just the same as the normal state, but I
don't think there's a way to do that on a per-folder basis (and certainly not
depending upon what messages are unseen in the folder.)
