Where would I see that? In a telnet session? In the headers in the
mailbox file?

There are actually two problems that are reported to me:

(1) People are reading mail, and when the next mail comes in, the mails
just read change status to 'unread'. I've seen this myself with a
variety of clients, not strictly reproducibly, but... it happens.

(2) People move read mail from the inbox to some other folder (or delete 
it) and find two copies - one in the new folder (or trash), and one in 
the old one. This I have not seen myself, and those who have seen it 
have not yet reported it for 0.99.10.6.
