Yes, it *seems* illogical, but we must bow to Chin in this matter.
Sometimes things grow illogically in programs and then the programmer just
don't feel like redoing them. So it goes. (-: Or there could be some reason
we know not of.

Ya, i'd think, it is reading a structure in that stores the Subject line,
From, and X-Status... and offset. It needs another internal field "changed"
so Yarn can keep track of which messages are changed and just update those.
I'm just TOTALLY GUESSING, but it seems there is just now a "global"
"changed" flag-- if you change anything it updates everything. Just a total
guess. Rather than a changed flag for each message in the list... which
could be updated individually.
>It makes large folders unusable as quick reference sources. And the code
Ah yes, that's why for very quick look up's i use a plain text file
viewer... in my case lst/2 (which has regular expression searching too).
