Rick, I'm not sure I follow you, but I think you might have the original issue backwards.
The problem is that when I try to move mail from PowerMail to Mail, it *all* shows up as unread, regardless of it's read status in PowerMail. I want to preserve the correct read status as I move mail over. I would think that PowerMail has a flag that it sets on a piece of mail to indicate whether it's read or not, and it seems like it's just not exporting that accurately. CTM engineering? Any comments?
