To be clear -- Netscape updates the X-Mozilla-Status headers constantly,
seeking in the file and overwriting them in place.  So it updates in two
places, in the mbox file itself and in the summary.  This is pretty
important, cause summary files sometimes get invalidated and lost.

The only time the X-Mozilla-Status headers are not updated is when they
didn't exist in the first place, which can only happen with imported
folders that have never been expunged/compacted.
