I've found that redirecting (but not forwarding) does preserve the HTML.
If you check the list archives I think you'll find that's the general,
though not universal, experience.

I posted this last week and never got any pick-up on it.
Does anyone know how I can get the read/unread flag to come across correctly?

Would it have anything to do with the fact that, to Mail, all the
messages actually are unread?
If so it may not be possible for the flag to transfer.

Graham,
I don't follow: if I export from PowerMail, and then import into Mail,
why would all the mail be unread to Mail?
Am I missing something here?

Hey Steve,
I don't use Apple Mail, but is there not some way (as there is in
PowerMail) to select a range of messages and then mark them as unread?
Wouldn't that solve the problem?
Alternatively, if the issue is that you have a mix of read and unread
messages in PM whose statuses you wish to preserve, I would suggest
creating additional temp folder[s], moving the unread messages to there
for the export, and then re-adjusting their statuses accordingly once in
Apple Mail.

Ben,
Thanks for your thoughts. The idea is to preserve the read/unread status
where the messages reside.
I have over 100 nested folders, somewhere between 50k-100k emails, and
the read and unread are interspersed throughout. Creating an "unread"
folder and moving all unread mail there, then putting it back, would be
a massive undertaking.

I was afraid that that might be the situation. Back to the drawing
board... :)

I thought that as the imported mail was new to the programme itself, it
would be unread by that programme. It would not take regard to the fact
that it has been read by another programme already.
It was just a thought

Steve;
If you're moving the messages into Mail, then you have the Wonderful
World of Smart Folders open to you (hey, CTM? You listening?).
You should be able to create a smart folder with the criteria "Show
unread messages". It'll list all your unread mail WITHOUT moving it from
it's actual nested location, and you can simply select all and Mark as
Read or whatever. Then you can simply delete your (now suddenly empty)
smart folder.
Shazaam!
I'm here till Thursday. Tip your waitress.
Rick
