curious propagation of messages

[Luis M. <mo...@fi...>]

I use mutt with mbsync/mswatch. A short time ago I changed mutt's
$record so that my sent mails would be saved in my Maildir, together
with my received mails, so I could see both sides of my
conversations. On the other hand, before saving my messages, I edit
them to add an Xlabel header. I noticed that if I edit very recently
sent messages from my laptop (mbsync's slave), my edits disappear
shortly afterwards. I guess that the sequence is that mbsync copies
the orignal file to my server, then I edit the message in the slave
and finally mbsync copies the original message back to the slave,
overwriting the edited message.  Is this what happens? Is this what
ought to happen? I'm using the isync package from debian/stretch.
Best regards,
Luis
