| Do you use scoring on the folder, perhaps inadvertently?  There is

Nope. `V t' says "no score rules apply" to all the messages in question.

Right. That's a feature. :-) In my case, if I do a 'g', I see that new
mail has arrived. If I then immediately quit and restart (without
reading any mail), the new mail becomes old (and read).

                                        Be seeing you,
