Here's a patch I use with 2.2.1 and 2.2.4 (on NetBSD, though that
shouldn't matter) that puts folders with new or unread messages at the
top of the alphabetized list.  It doesn't do anything for nested folders,
though it should, because it wasn't immediately obvious to me how to do
that check from the routine I patched.
