This isn't really a bug, but it would be nice if it were added to the
currently running program.

Currently when I am in rmail and I reply to a message, or forward a message,
the word "answered" or "forwarded" appears in the comment line at the bottom
of the screen.  That way later on if I look at that message I can know that I
already responded to it.

However, if I then take that message and send it out to a babyl file, it
doesn't retain that information (that I have answered it or forwarded it).  
So if I then call that babyl file into my rmail file, the comment line doesn't
register that I have answered or forwarded the messages in it.

I realize that presumably if I filed a message away in a babyl file, I am
probably done with it, but that isn't always the case.

Anyway, it is a little thing that I would be interested to know if you think
is valuable and/or possible.
