Not a hole in RFC from POP's perspective - POP3 simply has no notion of
"Seen" flags, since it follows a fetch-and-remove model.

I wonder if this change does good - on the other hand, given that
Dovecot does not allow querying the "LAST" message which was removed
several POP3 revisions ago, it will probably not harm fetchmail which
will fall back to UIDL if LAST does not work.
