Now you are referring to as to whether the packet has been read, 
not individual messages. 

That happens when the BWAVE\DATA\PKTSTATS.BW already has a 
"BBSNAME".### listed. 
It has to make another listing with the directory structure. 
The normal listing just has the packet name, since they are in 
the default Download Directory. 

Which brings up a mistake I made... 

The "Open Mail Packet" list is kept in BWAVE\DATA\PKTSTATS.BW 

The Flags & Marks info are kept in the "BBSNAME".### packet in 
the "BBSNAME".XTI file, which is ZIP'd into it when the packet 
is closed. 


When you "Save" a message, with the header, the header includes 
the Flags & Marks for Read/Replied. 
"Saved" is assummed, so it isn't included. 


I've been wondering if Jean has his "Work" directory located on a 
Ramdrive. He could be loosing data before it is saved back to the 
packet, which means al he opens is the original packet.
