Actually, it will have been debatched when you first run
ToastyUser - not when the program is loaded and you click your
name in the program; that just opens the relevant mail box.

The mail(s) you haven't read, therefore, haven't been lost,
they are just encrypted along with the rest of your mail
files - so they can't be read in !Edit.

(Well, by most people anyway - but I'm denying everything ;-)

The solution is simply to remove the flags files, which are
all stored in sub-dirs of !Voyager.Apps.Mail.!PostyUser.Flags
 - there are 3 subdirectories - Log, Save, Standard - delete
the /contents/ of each. I think there's an obey file to do
this for you on the disk Argo recently sent out, if you are
unsure about doing it yourself - IIRC its called WipeFlags.

And this is entirely offtopic in csa.misc, so I've xposted
this article to a.a.voyager & set followups to that group.
