That message is generated by an IMAP mail server. It lets the IMAP server keep track of which messages are already read (an IMAP mail server lets you access your mail from more than place keeping all the folders, read mail, etc. on the server. Check www.imap.org for features). The IMAP-aware versions of pine just don't show it, elm doesn't understand IMAP so it shows it as a message. If you delete it in elm I think it makes all your mail show as unread.
