Same here.  But I have a vague concept of what you mean.  The last read

An obscure reference to a remark you made in Penderel's Oak after
yapc::Europe 19100. Something to the effect that you have a mark which
indicates, in your MUA, the boundary between "read" and "unread" messages in
a mail folder, and that this mark is never on the first page of messages in
your london-list folder.

Had to do, apparently, not only with the traffic a mailing list gets but
also with whether you keep messages around or delete them after reading
them.

Unfortunately, I don't recall the comment exactly.

Philip

I've yet to see a unicycle with a quick release wheel, though. However, mine
does have a quick release saddle. That's to say, last time I mounted it, the
saddle snapped in two. That was over six months ago, and I still haven't got
round to fitting the new saddle I immediately bought.

Neill's, I take it, rather than one of my impromptu borgings? I've no
