   User's message scan pointers are stored in data/user/.subs, if you   
   want to monitor changes to the user's file, look for any corruption, etc.   
      
   Also, if the user is logging on to multiple nodes or services (e.g. web, nntp,   
   ftp, mail, and telnet, ssh, or rlogin) concurrently, that can cause   
   race-conditions and user-surprises with message scan pointers. That'd be   
   something to keep an eye on as well.
