Thanks.

I'm not using it to determine when mail was last read (and what mail is new) - I'm using it to query details of a particular sub via msg_area.grp_list.sub_list. I want to be sure that sub "x" is the same sub (x) as the last time I queried it (which might be a minute ago, a day ago, a year ago) - even if other subs (in the same grp) have been added/deleted/edited since I last queried it.
