Is mutt changing the filename of the files it moves to another maildir? I guess 
OfflineIMAP doesn't alter the filename if the file is just copied from one 
maildir to the next, if it doesn't, and mutt doesn't, the name will stay the 
same after Offlineimap has synchronised local changes back to the IMAP server. 
Does this make sense?
