 Mystic QWK strange happenings

Ok, so this is what I am noticing from various different BBS's when using QWK
packets.  I will explain my exact process first:

I log into BBS.  I will then the first time goto Offline/QWK mail and select
which areas I want it to scan for my packets.  I will then select to download
the packet and complete the download.  I will select the option for mystic to
update my last read pointers.

If I sign back on right away, or throughout the day and do the process of
downloading again, it will create a packat with JUST what has been unread
since my last download.

However, after (random? or maybe after Maintenance?) some time I will come
back to download the QWK packet and ALL areas are downloading EVERY message
again as if I've never read ANY of the messages in these messasge areas. Like
stated before, this does not seem to be only one BBS this is happening on, but
multiple BBS's I have been downloading packets from.  I am hoping someone has
some input on this topic and can either advice something I am doing incorrect,
or a setting / maintenance change to the Mystic systems to correct the problem.

Thanks
