Rick,
I'm not sure I follow you, but I think you might have the original issue
backwards.
The problem is that when I try to move mail from PowerMail to Mail, it
*all* shows up as unread, regardless of it's read status in PowerMail. I
want to preserve the correct read status as I move mail over.
I would think that PowerMail has a flag that it sets on a piece of mail
to indicate whether it's read or not, and it seems like it's just not
exporting that accurately.
CTM engineering? Any comments?
TIA,
Steve
