   Ok, so this is what I am noticing from various different BBS's when using QWK   
   packets.  I will explain my exact process first:   
      
   I log into BBS.  I will then the first time goto Offline/QWK mail and select   
   which areas I want it to scan for my packets.  I will then select to download   
   the packet and complete the download.  I will select the option for mystic to   
   update my last read pointers.   
      
   If I sign back on right away, or throughout the day and do the process of   
   downloading again, it will create a packat with JUST what has been unread   
   since my last download.   
      
   However, after (random? or maybe after Maintenance?) some time I will come   
   back to download the QWK packet and ALL areas are downloading EVERY message   
   again as if I've never read ANY of the messages in these messasge areas. Like   
   stated before, this does not seem to be only one BBS this is happening on, but   
   multiple BBS's I have been downloading packets from.  I am hoping someone has   
   some input on this topic and can either advice something I am doing incorrect,   
   or a setting / maintenance change to the Mystic systems to correct the problem.   
      
   Thanks
