Option to not update Atime on filesystems not mounted noatime

Hi


I have a single filesystem i don't mount noatime because mutt would work 
very good otherwise.

Today, in a discussion about mkisofs, i learned that Linux since 2.6.8 
supports "O_NOATIME" as an option to open. (see "man 2 open")

So how comes that rsync doesn't do that and/or there is no option to 
switch on that behaviour?

cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
