mails_news wrong count when used with mboxes and Status header is set to
O[ld] by the MUA.
( This is how mutt flags a mail as notified to the user, however this
is not the same as R[ead].)

Patch to mail.c:
254,255c254
<                                       if (strchr(buf + 7, 'R') == NULL
&&
<                             strchr(buf + 7, 'O') == NULL) {
---


Thanks,

Also, I think the ctime of the mbox should be cheked along (or instead
of) mtime, because of noatime or relatime mount options (mail.c:186).

Considering that 1.8.0 doesn't close this bug, this isn't really a
surprise, is it?
