I think it doesn't matter what mail flags are set on the server.
fetchmail with UIDL does not use or rely on any mail flags as reported
by the server. Complete tracking is done only on the client side.
I don't think that's the point. The point is that fetchmail may not
be the only program accessing the server. Some users may need to
fetch while leaving messages unread for *other* clients.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
