IIRC Kasper used this "flag" to determine if special be_mods should 
react to this folder.
The most famous one was direct_mail which uses this flags to determine 
where direct_mail is used.
I haven't been following the most recent development of direct_mail but 
if I am right this is still the case.

No offense, but please tripple-check with someone from the old days 
before removing any stuff (the older, the more checks please).
Might do more harm than good :)

Still: nice work on the page refactoring.

cheers
Mathias
