[Dovecot] UW-IMAP -> Dovecot : patch to remove nasty "internal messages" from UW-IMAP ?

[Rick Johnson]

Many of the scripts that do the conversion remove this message.

I used perfect_maildir.pl to do my conversion. It was more or less 
dead-on, but had the habbit of marking some unread messages incorrectly 
as "read" after the conversion.

I've attached a patch which "fixed" this in my case. This patches 
against perfect_maildir.pl v0.2.
