I am curious as to exactly what part of the documentation led you to such a conclusion.

The short answer is: no. This cannot be done in maildrop.

The part that led me to that conclusion was this portion from the maildropfilter manpage (under the Other Special Variables heading [http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/maildropfilter.html]):

You know, I completely forgot about it. Now I understand where the confusion lies.

Sending a message with 'test' in the subject now results in a message named '1137770494.M964865P8797V0000000000001602I00A40047_0.rabid,S\=721:2,' in the new directory of the maildir, and a file called '1137770494.M964865P8797V0000000000001602I00A40047_0.rabid,S\=721' in the courierimapkeywords folder. Contents of the keywords file are '\Seen'.

\Seen is not a keyword.

\Seen is a message status flag.

That's where the disconnect is.

You can set various custom keywords that are supported by your IMAP client, such as "$spam", "$urgent", or whatever, with this. Keywords are a completely different beast than message status flags, which is not implemented.
