I would like to maintain two IDENTICAL msgbases, home and office. Read
and expired articles in one should have the same status in the other.
If I transport the Soup packets, which is easier (at least it takes
less disk space), I loose read and expired flags. Am I right?

If so, please inform which files should I transport?

Thanks a lot.
