Thanks so far. I patched my mutt and the problem has gone away.
Anyway, I am still not sure what the right way is, the
maildir-specification are not clear about that. In fact my wmbiff has
the same problem too. I have read that John wants to check this with the
maildir-maintainer, are there any news about this?

No, running RedHat here. If anyone needs a patched mutt too, he should
look at ftp://ftp.wspse.de/linux/redhat/mutt-1.5.1i.nntp-1.src.rpm which
contains the patch, as well the header-cache patch (which is pretty
useful for large maildirs).
