Hi!

I just recently started getting into the habit at work of telnetting into
rahul.net to read my personal email using pine.  I noticed that a lot of my
read email on the server is considered "unread" by Outlook Express.  I tried
looking for a setting in Outlook Express that would accept the read email as
"read" -- a feature that I previously had with Eudora in my Win95 days --
but I could find anything remotely similiar.  I also tried the pine
configuration options to see if there is a server-specific setting that
would set the read flag but I didn't see anything.  Any ideas?

(Don't suggest changing email clients.  ;)  Over the years, I have found
Outlook Express to be more flexible to blending to my work style than other
email clients.)
