According to http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html 
letter R and S in message file name means that user has (R)eplied and (S)een message.
Unfortunately mailutils  does not follow this convention;
R treates as Read , and for 'Answered' letter 'a' is used.
This breaks compatibility with other maildir-aware software. (most notably mutt, gnus, and imap servers using maildir as backends)

I think that mailutils shold be more compatible with referenced spec.
