Hmmmm .... OK, then how come I never see an 'N' whenever filter puts a
message in a folder?  Don't mean to argue, I'm just wondering why I don't
see the difference between new and spooled mail.  If I use the SAVECOPY
command in filter, the one in /usr/spool/mail will prepend it with a N when
I try to use it, while the one that's placed in a folder prepends with
nothiing (or the SPACE, as you said).

Thanks again for the information.
