Emacs CVS, question regarding ticked, dormant, \Flagged with nnimap.

[Bruno Hertz]

Hi folks

does anyone know why, when applying flags to an imap backend,
flag addition and removal are applied in that order?

Example: with nnimap-importantize-dormant enabled, if I enter
a buffer that has ticked articles and change those ticks into
dormant, on the imap side first (gnus-dormant \Flagged) is
stored on those articles, but then (\Flagged) is removed due
to removal of the tick, making importantize basically effectiveless.

You probably guess the reason I ask, i.e. I want to maintain
\Flagged cross-client, while hiding those articles upon entering
a summary buffer at the same time.

Sidenote: if you're about to recommend using (display . [unread])
to hide ticked articles per default, let me just note that this
doesn't work either.

Hints mucho appreciated.

Regards, Bruno.
