   Gotcha.  There should be a set message date on the message menu and it works   
   for both QWK and your own BBS last read pointers.   
      
   Here is my theory:   
      
   When you download a QWK packet, Mystic starts at your last read message + 1.   
   When the last read was updated, it was setting it as last read + 1.  When   
   Mystic's message base packer was packing everything, it found that the last   
   read message was an invalid message number and was resetting it to 0.   
      
   I do think its fixed in the "Paulie" build but we'll see.  I didn't start with   
   a reproducable issue on my end so I can't be certain.   
      
   I've also switched to using a mixture of MultiMail QWK and online Mystic to see   
   if I can catch the "fixed" version doing the same stuff.  I'll be packing the   
   message bases daily as well.   
      
   We'll get it sorted out and a new stable release out once its done and Paulie   
   confirms any issues he has regarding file bases is okay!
