Does the Read/Unread/All status do the same mis-behavior in other
subscriptions? Whatever, it should maintain. I can't imagine how the
server
change would have changed the Hog such that it began doing something
unintended. (I, too, use HW but not your server and nevertheless have
never
had the status choice change on its own.) I might suspect a weird header
or
timestamp from the server could fool an app into thinking a message had
not
been read but 1) I have never heard of such and 2) Sally doesn't see the
same
thing. So, I am totally useless to you other than verifying something is
wrong on your end. Good luck.
