I don't know. It seems that reading messages and stripping attachments 
can be completely separate activities, unless you open the messages 
first (which I assume you are not doing).

I've noticed another illogical marking. I have some folders marked all 
read (0/nnn) but with an asterisk for new messages. I can hardly read 
a message without first having noticed that it exists!

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
