I'm actually not sure that will work; I neglected to mention that the
:2,info part only exists on messages in the cur subdirectory, but Exim
always delivers into new. We'd need an additional flag to tell exim to
deliver into cur, instead.

(I really don't understand the purpose of the new directory in maildir;
since multiple MUAs can access the maildir folder, they need to scan cur
for new messages anyway, since a different MUA might have moved a
message from new to cur. Can anyone shed some light on this admittedly
off-topic topic?)

Yeah, "headers_add Status: RO" would certainly do the job for mbox delivery.
