I believe he means something like this scenario:
I connect to my mail server via IMAP. It is running UW IMAP, so the
fake message gets generated and stored. I leave mail on the
server. Later, I ssh in and use mutt to read my mail locally. Mutt
doesn't know the difference about IMAP's "special message", so it
displays it along all the others. I don't like the "DON'T DELETE THIS
MESSAGE" message in my mailbox, so I delete it. IMAP has lost its
state.
The problem with the c-client approach is it only works when *all* of
your mailbox access goes through c-client. It should be possible to
maintain state while still allowing foreign M[UTD]A access.
