Well I don't agree - Yes there _is_ bugs, _but_ they are not random, there
_is_ a system ,-)

There is the lastread bug in the netmail area (*.msg type) - some say it
comes and goes but for 4.2 (and I think for version <4.2) the lastread
get reset if you exit from msged and the last read area has been your
netmail area. If you make sure that you enter a squish area before exit,
the lastread pointer in your netmail area should be OK. (this bug is fix
now).

Then there is a mix up the lastread pointer and the use of CTL-P (scan for
personal mail i all area): In this case the lastread gets move up to your
personal mail (I don't recall if it is to the first og the last in the
area). 

Then the is this repley i AREA: bug, I think this one is in
"famelie" with the CTL-P bug. (I'll look into this 2 now).

I think there is one type more - but I can't recall it right now.

Lets not make the error bigger that they are ,-)
