Wouldn't the marking of a message as Read, then, be better implemented
at the filter command level? Perhaps another parameter to the save
command, or a new command (so as not to break old filters).

   if
     $header_to: contains "exim-users@"
   then
     savemark R $home/Maildir/.Lists.Exim/
     finish
   endif


Or something like that, leaving the mechanism open to future expansion
for flags other than Read (savemark RXYZ... $foo). Since the 'save'
command already understands if it's delivering to Maildir, mbox, etc it
could add the appropriate info at that time instead. Maybe?
