The individual messages are still "flagged" as net but the mbox container files is not. You have lost nothing except a notice that the "container" is not "new". Opening the mbox "container" file will still show the unread files as "new" provided you have unset mark_old. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
