   Hi g00r00,   
      
   Something I've noticed lately I will log in in the morning to find that every   
   message in my netmail base has been marked unread, not every morning, just   
   every now & then.   
      
   I logged in this morning and all of my messages were marked as read, as they   
   should be.   
      
   I then did some Areafix'ing and wanted to clean up those messages so packed my   
   message bases, and when I logged back in every message in my Netmail bases was   
   marked unread.  Here are the relevant lines from mutil.log:   
      
   -----------------  MUTIL v1.12 A48 2022/04/03 Fri, Apr 15 2022 (loglevel 2)   
   + Apr 15 08:08:59  Startup using mutil.ini   
   + Apr 15 08:08:59  Process: Purging Message Bases   
   [...]   
   + Apr 15 08:08:59    Netmail   
   + Apr 15 08:08:59      Purge private messages   
   + Apr 15 08:08:59      Purge by age: 365 days   
   + Apr 15 08:08:59      Purge by max msgs: 500 (205 current)   
   + Apr 15 08:08:59      Purged 0   
   [...]   
      
   -----------------  MUTIL v1.12 A48 2022/04/03 Fri, Apr 15 2022 (loglevel 2)   
   + Apr 15 08:09:30  Startup using mutil.ini   
   + Apr 15 08:09:30  Process: Packing Message Bases   
   [...]   
   + Apr 15 08:09:30    Netmail   
   + Apr 15 08:09:30      Removed 8 msgs   
   [...]   
      
      
   So it would appear that if mutil is able to remove some messages in the   
   netmail base all messages become marked as unread.  This doesn't appear to be   
   the case in any echomail bases (that I've noticed), though I don't delete   
   messages from echomail bases very often.

   ... It was such a lovely day, I thought it was a pity to get up.
