I'll have to get back to you on that. I'm up to my ears today...

I'm not so much concerned with the functionality of cur vs. new, more that the 
behavior might point to the problem (ie: *why* is it still in cur when the 
client received it). Whatever is happening does so very late in the download 
process since the message still shows up in the mail client.
