I'm posting this as a follow-up to the above article I posted yesterday.  Just
after I posted that article, another user here complained of a problem with
somewhat similar symptoms.  In his case, when he tried to display a new message,
he was given a previously read message from the same day.  As I say, it's similar
in that an old message was read instead of the one that was desired to be read.
In case anyone reading this hasn't read my entire previous article, we are running
Elm 2.2 PL0 in a Sys V mail environment.

Thanks in advance for any help.
