I have no idea unforturnately :-(.  Is there?

I don't have a problem with falling back to this solution if noatime is
in fact not updated, but the question is how to detect it.  What do you
think?

I wouldn't want to default to your solution however, because that would
break the mail indication for mailers who use $MAIL for storage.  But if
you can find out how to detect your noatime setting, I'm all for your
plan B.
