This should be fixed by simply remembering the last seen message. I wonder how does c-client map NNTP msg ids into its own UIDs but I suspect that, just as for POP, it does something to make NNTP look like IMAP. I'm not sure if it succeeds.

Although I like to rant about c-client (and there is certainly much to rant about), I think that if we hadn't used it, M wouldn't exist at all so I can't seriously say that it was a bad choice.
