That's what I meant but I guess that's NOT what I said, eh?

IOW, PAN thinks the messages have already been read and deleted, because all 
it sees is the last-message number, I'd guess.  Therefore, when messages come 
in previous to that number, it doesn't d/l them or show them to you, because 
it thinks you already saw them and dispensed with them.  (I mean appeared as 
read in that sense, not marked as read, I guess.)
