Subj : Determining the last read messages in the mail sub
To   : All
From : Khelair
Date : Tue Aug 11 2015 12:04 pm

  Just a restatement of what I had asked in IRC:
10:55 < khelair> msg_area.sub["mail"] is not a preferred method of accessing 
                 what the last_msg or last_read pointer might be for the mail 
                 sub, is it?
11:07 < khelair> would I be correct in assuming that the Mail sub, in the 
                 standard shell, utilizes the applicable message header 
                 attributes to glean where the unread ones are at?


  though I misphrased it pretty poorly at the beginning.  What I meant to say
was 'If msg_area.sub["mail"] is not a potential method of accessing the
last_msg or last_read pointers, then would I be correct in assuming that the
mail sub, in the standard shell, utilizes applicable message header attributes
to clean where the unread ones are at?

  TIA
