Subject: How does Pine determine message status?

Just one of those curious questions - one of the lists to which I 
subscribe suffered a mail loop over the weekend, with multiple copies of 
the same message received over several hours.  The duplicates were not 
marked "N" in the inbox index.  I don't remember if the original message 
was still in the inbox after reading.

Just what does pine do to determine message status on received mail?
Could this have been set at the originating site?
