Summary:                    [patch] Disable automatic move to Old from INBOX
once 'heard'
Description: 
I'm getting a lot of flack from my users about Comedian Mail moving 'heard'
messages to the Old folder automatically.... and I agree with them enough
that I've generated a small patch to optionally disable this behaviour.

The complaint is roughly that should one have a number of messages in
one's INBOX and one wants to skip through them to pick out any important
stuff before dealing with the rest, the mere act of listening to any part
of the messages causes it to be designated as 'heard' and therefore
automatically moved to the Old folder even though you've only 'heard' part
of it. This can be very annoying if there's already a load of messages in
'Old'.

This patch allows an 'ignoreheard' flag in voicemail.conf.

Yes it should with the possible exception of the bit that reads the
configuration.

I originally did the change for 1.4.11 and only redid the patch against
svn trunk to ease the life of the developers.  It's actually pretty trivial
and if you want to bodge it just comment out the three places in
app_voicemail.c where it sets "vms->heard[xxxx] = 1;"
