Using 2000-02-16 mozilla builds on NT 4.0, linux rh6.0

When copying a multiple selection of messages from IMAP or NNTP to local
folders, any unread messages in the selection will be marked read both in the
origination and copy destination folder.  I do not see this when copying IMAP to
IMAP.

1.   At mail window, open and login to IMAP account.
2.   Select multiple messages,some of which are unread
3.   Message|Copy Messages and select a folder in Local Folders hierarchy as the
copy destination.
4.   Copy takes place. Note the original multiple selection now has no unread
messages.  Open the copy destination folder.  See that messages were copied, but
the copies are also marked read.

Actual result:  Copy multiple messages will mark unread messages in the
selection read in both origination and copy destination folder.

Expected result:  Messages which are copied should retain status in both
origination and destination folders.

cc'ing jefft.  Any ideas?
The code to copy the orginal message flags to the destination may not exist. I 
don't think anyone has done anything about it. 
By the way, I don't see this when copying IMAP/IMAP (same server).
The same server is fine. We don't need to do things extra. Server handles it. 
Acrossing server boundary is a problem.

Using sep12 commercial build NT 4.0, linux rh6.0 and mac OS 9.0:

OK IMAP--> local
NOT OK NNTP --> local, still marks read.

Reopening for NNTP--> local case. Changed summary to exclude IMAP.

NNTP --> IMAP does same, marks read.
Summary: Copy multiple msgs NNTP to local marks selection read. → Copy multiple msgs NNTP to local/IMAP marks selection read.
Whiteboard: fix in hand.
I'm seeing with some NNTP-->local copy/move that SOME of the messages are marked
read and SOME are not of those which are unread before copy.  So, it may be
dependent on the selection (like whether all are read, some are read, etc.)
nsbeta3-, not frequent or severe enough to rate P1 or P2.
