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!
