My 'others' I mean the authors of the clients which Richard tested prior
to saying, in the paragraph which I quoted in my own reply,
"This is because when I was testing with multiple concurrent
connected clients (as I like to work) it screwed up the new
message counts."
Perhaps I misinterpreted him, and his 'multiple concurrent connected
clients' was in fact just multiple copies of the _same_ client, and
hence there was only _one_ such buggy client.
Given the ease with which this particular mistake can be made, however,
I suspect the plural is correct.
