   I ran into this with Thunderbird a while back and essentially what you're   
   seeing is a result of the interaction between your client and the way the   
   Mystic NNTP server reports message IDs. I know g00r00 has been aware of the   
   thing with IDs but has had limited time to prioritize it so far.   
      
   Mystic at present uses the post number in the message area as the NNTP   
   message ID so for example every area with posts in it will each have a message   
   with ID 1.   
      
   Seamonkey/Thunderbird on the other hand expects unique IDs per server so when   
   reading it will check its cache for a given message ID and just show you that   
   before trying to download anything. The client makes no distinction about which   
   message area/newsgroup you're currently looking at if it has that ID cached   
   already. Some other news clients happen to account for this possibility,   
   although the RFC doesn't require them to.   
      
   NNTP Message-IDs don't have to be numeric or have any correlation to the   
   message's slot in the messagebase so there's a lot of possible approaches to   
   generating them based on message contents or metadata.
